sumit commented on the word cryptolope

IBM makes cryptolope deal: "Digital containers provide content or software publishers with a way to protect copyrighted material--be it a news article, a program, or a digital image--from being duplicated and passed on to others throughout the Internet. A container serves as a kind of encrypted envelope, preventing users from opening the item unless they pay a fee. The most well known digital container technology is IBM's cryptolope, which the company introduced commercially in May."

Cool obscure technology word. The only definition I found was in the engagingly old-school Bob Jensen's Technology Glossary.
The combination of "cryptographic" security encryption with "envelopes" of domain. Cryptolopes enable publishers on the WWW to securely distribute content with copyright protections and security over payments for copyrighted material usage.
