The End of Politics
The End of Politics is Ian Rolf's latest novel, combining a techno-thriller with speculative science fiction and political intrigue. While it is purely a work of fiction, The End of Politics explores some complex issues about democracy, ethics, human nature and the impact of technology on society.
In a world of social networks and instant communication at massive scale, the will of the majority can be instantly interpreted and enforced, creating the most perfect form of democracy…The End of Politics is Ian Rolf's latest novel, combining a techno-thriller with speculative science fiction and political intrigue. While it is purely a work of fiction, The End of Politics explores some complex issues about democracy, ethics, human nature and the impact of technology on society.
In a world of social networks and instant communication at massive scale, the will of the majority can be instantly interpreted and enforced, creating the most perfect form of democracy. However, a group of anarchist hacktivists oppose this new model and will not hesitate to resort to violence.
Dr. Alex Petersen was never terribly interested in politics, until he was dragged into it by ruthless operatives. Now a terrorist organization is trying to destroy his life's work. Alex is forced to make some difficult choices, as he finds the distinction between good and evil becoming blurred. -
Broadcast Encryption's Bright Future
IEEE Computer
Broadcast encryption was designed to answer the question--Can two devices, previously unknown to each other, agree upon a key if they only have a one-way communication path? They can, and the one-way nature of this communication gives the technology its name. Recent advances in broadcast encryption threaten to unseat public key encryption?s use in certain applications. To commercialize the technology for media content protection, IBM, Intel, Matsushita, and Toshiba developed the Content…
Broadcast encryption was designed to answer the question--Can two devices, previously unknown to each other, agree upon a key if they only have a one-way communication path? They can, and the one-way nature of this communication gives the technology its name. Recent advances in broadcast encryption threaten to unseat public key encryption?s use in certain applications. To commercialize the technology for media content protection, IBM, Intel, Matsushita, and Toshiba developed the Content Protection for Recordable Media technology. Devices that use CPRM have already been marketed, including digitalaudio players and video recorders, and some flash-memory music players. The authors' work focuses on various aspects of content protection, which they consider to be the ideal application for broadcast encryption.

Method, computer readable media and apparatus for the selection and rendering of audio files in a networked environment
Issued US 7113999
A networked virtual jukebox renders audible music or other audio files to all within audio range of the virtual jukebox. The order of rendering is determined by requesting methods, which include networked peer-voting input, recent play history, random selection and voting. Voting is received from each networked device in communication with the networked virtual jukebox using all types of input methods such as keyboard, mouse, and voice input. The networked virtual jukebox can also operate…
