Abstract

Systèmes et procédés d'accès et d'authentification d'un fichier numérique. Le fichier numérique est tout type de fichier numérique comprenant des fichiers audio, vidéo et image. Le système comprend au moins un fichier numérique, un premier procédé d'accès au système, un second processus d'authentification de l'authenticité, de la provenance, et de la propriété du fichier numérique, un dispositif informatique pour accéder au logiciel et au fichier numérique, un serveur distant, un réseau de télécommunications pour connecter le dispositif informatique au serveur distant, et un récepteur de positionnement global. En plus de l'accès au fichier numérique, le système authentifie également l'authenticité et la propriété du fichier numérique à l'aide d'un jeton non fongible qui est stocké sur un registre numérique. Le récepteur de positionnement global détermine un emplacement géographique du dispositif informatique à l'aide de données de géolocalisation reçues par le récepteur de positionnement global à partir d'un système de navigation par satellite.
