Abstract

Embodiments for generating digital title and transmission information are disclosed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

generating a digital title and transmission form including a payload identification value to at least in part associate the digital title and transmission form with a digital object.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating a payload identification value by performing a hashing function on the digital object.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises generating an assignee identification value to at least in part associate an entity with the digital object.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing an encryption key associated with the digital object.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing metadata associated with the digital object.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a value representing a file size associated with the digital object.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a value representing a file type associated with the digital object.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing provenance data.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a proxy identification value.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting the digital title and transmission form separately from the digital object.

11. A method, comprising:

encrypting a digital object using an encryption key; and

storing the encryption key in a field of a digital title and transmission form.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein encrypting the digital object comprises encrypting the digital object using an encryption key.

13. An article comprising:

a storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that, if executed, result in performance of a method, comprising;

generating a digital title and transmission form including a payload identification value to at least in part associate the digital title and transmission form with a digital object.

14. The article of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises creating a payload identification value by performing a hashing function on the digital object.

15. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises generating an assignee identification value to at least in part associate an entity with the digital object.

16. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing an encryption key associated with the digital object.

17. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing metadata associated with the digital object.

18. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a value representing a file size associated with the digital object.

19. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a value representing a file type associated with the digital object.

20. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing provenance data.

21. The article of claim 13, wherein generating a digital title and transmission form further comprises storing a proxy identification value.

22. The article of claim 13, further comprising transmitting the digital title and transmission form separately from the digital object.

23. An article comprising:

a storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that, if executed, result in performance of a method, comprising;

encrypting a digital object using an encryption key; and

storing the encryption key in a field of a digital title and transmission form.

24. The article of claim 23, wherein encrypting the digital object comprises encrypting the digital object using an encryption key.

25. An apparatus, comprising:

a computing platform adapted to;

generate a digital title and transmission form including a payload identification value to at least in part associate the digital title and transmission form with a digital object.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to create a payload identification value by performing a hashing function on the digital object.

27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by generating an assignee identification value to at least in part associate an entity with the digital object.

28. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing an encryption key associated with the digital object.

29. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing metadata associated with the digital object.

30. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing a value representing a file size associated with the digital object.

31. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing a value representing a file type associated with the digital object.

32. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing provenance data.

33. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to generate the digital title and transmission form at least in part by storing a proxy identification value.

34. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to transmit the digital title and transmission form separately from the digital object.

35. An apparatus, comprising:

a computing platform adapted to;

encrypt a digital object using an encryption key; and

store the encryption key in a field of a digital title and transmission form.

36. The apparatus of claim 35, wherein the computing platform is further adapted to encrypt the digital object using an encryption key.
