Abstract:
A method and system for media consumption are described. The method including tagging each one of a plurality of content items with at least one metadata tag, the metadata tag including a descriptor of at least one topical attribute describing the content item, the plurality of content items being adapted for consumption on a plurality of user devices, wherein the plurality of content items are provided in multiple file formats; acquiring a history of user consumption of the plurality of content items on a plurality of user devices associated with a single user; storing a user record including the acquired user history, a plurality of metadata tags associated with user consumed content, and including a list of devices comprising the plurality of user devices associated with a single user; building a playlist based, at least in part, on the following criteria, wherein each content item which is listed on the playlist has at least one tag which is also one of a plurality of tags already stored in the user record: a) including a content item which has been started but not completely consumed, b) not including content items marked in the acquired history as being completely consumed, unless the content items have changed with respect to the version consumed, and c) including content items which have not been consumed; selecting at least one content item from the playlist; and pushing the selected at least one content item to at least one of the plurality of user devices associated with a single user, wherein if the selected at least one content item is not suitable for consumption on the at least one of the plurality of user devices, then a next item in the playlist is pushed to the least one of the plurality of user devices.

Abstract:
In one embodiment a method, apparatus and system for is described for receiving a first input including a first decryption key and a second input including an encrypted second decryption key at a cryptographic decryption apparatus, the encrypted second decryption key to be decrypted by the cryptographic apparatus according to the first decryption key, storing a value of a key ladder length in a first register by a cryptographic processor, and using the stored value as a loop index by the cryptographic processor for a number of iterations of the cryptographic decryption apparatus executed as a loop, wherein at one stage in the loop execution of the cryptographic decryption apparatus, the second input includes the key ladder length, wherein the loop operation of the cryptographic decryption apparatus operates for a number of iterations equal to an initial value of the loop index. Related methods, apparatuses and systems are also described.
