StreamTo: Streaming Content using a Tamper-Resistant Token

Stream To uses a tamper resistant hardware token to generate the key stream needed to decrypt encrypted streaming music. The combination of a hardware token and streaming media effectively brings tried and tested Pay-TV technology to the Internet. We present two prototype implementations with a performance assessment, showing that the system is both effective and efficient.
