The proposed protocol (1/5)
• Secret Protection Incentive-based Escrow System (SPIES).
• SPIES is best suited for applications in which the content is legitimately shared among a small set of participants.
• SPIES should not be used to replace traditional DRM. (ex. movie and music files sold online)
• SPIES used to limit unauthorized sharing of passwords for accessing content on websites.

Conclusions
• SPIES uses the techniques of game theory to analyze strategies and outcomes.
• Applicable: passwords, corporate knowledge-sharing, pre-release media.
• Its chief limitations are the requirements for a limited number of legitimate.
• To limit and detect unauthorized sharing.
