Digital Rights Management - An idea
I had an idea for DRM, what about a kernel that forces everything downloaded to have a
valid signature, and doesn't let the file/program be accessed otherwise?
We could discuss ideas now, move on to code examples next, and then draw up a whitepaper,
All those who are interested mail me.

Waoh....
If I want to install a new soft, I'm gonna have to find someone having the .tgz file signed so that I can get it ????
Is that what U mean ?

You can set this up with both rsbac and selinux
How exactly would you do this specifically for "downloaded" files except by snooping into every ftp/http, much less having to decrypt the protocols like https or scp?
Anyway, assuming you meant "downloaded file == any file", that's simple, and already being discussed, most likely by companies like TiVo, etc.
