Abstract
Access to digital content may be controlled by determining digital content to be made accessible via a rights locker, determining enrollment authentication data, and sending a rights locker enrollment request to a rights locker provider, where the rights locker enrollment request comprises a digital content request and the enrollment authentication data. One or more authenticated rights locker access requests are received in response to the sending, where the one or more authenticated rights locker access requests are for subsequent use in accessing digital content associated with the rights locker. When an indication of a selection of one of the one or more authenticated rights locker access requests is received, the authenticated rights locker access request is sent to a rights locker provider, and a result is received in response to sending the authenticated rights locker access request.
