    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to securely receiving and storing credentials. In some embodiments, a computing device includes an application executable to supply a credential to an external system. A secure circuit of the computing device is configured to send, to a credential storage, a request for the credential, the request including a first certificate identifying a first public key and a stipulation to perform a user authentication before permitting use of a first private key corresponding to the first public key. The secure circuit receives, from the credential storage, the credential encrypted using the first public key and, based on the stipulation, performs the user authentication prior to decrypting the credential and supplying it to the application. In some embodiments, the secure circuit receives the first certificate by providing information about hardware included in the computing device to a hardware verification service.

    Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts to access content items assigned to the other user accounts in the group of linked user accounts. Prior to completing a purchase for a content item, a requesting user can be alerted that a member of the group of linked user accounts has access to the content item. Content items assigned to a member of a group of linked user accounts can be downloaded by one or more other members of the group of linked user accounts along with a Digital Rights Management (DRM) key that enables use of the content item. The DRM key can represent the group relationship between the downloading user account and the content owner's user account to which the content item is assigned.

    Abstract: User accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts that can access content items assigned to the other user accounts in the group. A user can download content items assigned to their user account, as well as shared content items assigned to one of the other user accounts in the group of linked user accounts. Use of shared content items can be restricted to client devices running specified versions of an operating system. The key ID tagged to a shared content item can be altered such that the key ID no longer correctly identifies the corresponding DRM key that enables use of the shared content item. Client devices authorized to use shared content items can be configured to recognize that a content item is a shared content item and generate the original key ID form the altered key ID.

    Abstract: In the fields of data security and system reliability and qualification, this disclosure is of a method, system and apparatus for verifying or authenticating a device to a host using a zero-knowledge based authentication technique which includes a keyed message authentication code such as an HMAC or keyed cipher function and which operates on secret information shared between the host and the device. This is useful both for security purposes and also to make sure that a device such as a computer peripheral or accessory or component is qualified to be interoperable with the host.
