Content permissioning
In addition to maintaining content availability, content nodes also take responsibility for permissioning access to content.
The content permissioning system in SoundProtocol aims to be:
Transparent for all parties involved
Cost- and time- efficient for all transactions
Flexible, accounting for multiple streaming models and any monetization scheme the artist sees fit
Granular, with users paying each other directly and immediately for services rendered when possible
If content is permissioned, the artist’s client at upload time generates encryption keys for the content that are shared with / managed by the content node(s) elected by the artist thereafter.
Because of SonSP, anyone can now fetch the encrypted content being kept available by the elected content nodes. Proxy re-encryption is what allows a content node to selectively issue a key to a given user upon request.
