ABSTRACT:
To encrypt a digital object, a key ID is selected for the digital object, and a function ƒ( ) having an input and an output is selected. The selected key ID is then employed as the input to the function ƒ( ), and the output of such function ƒ( ) is employed as the key (KD) for the digital object: ƒ(key ID)key (KD). The digital object is then according to such key (KD), and the encrypted digital object is distributed.
