A trust and assurance perspective applies readily to the distribution of digital products over the Internet: It identifies when digital rights remain viable, even with eventual mishaps and leaks that attend every long-term operation. An assurance system needs a flexible framework that is not too expensive.Arguments identify six preliminary assurance factors and briefly sample the rich space defined by them.
