Development for Digital rights management systems. Initially my team developed ground breaking rights management technology for eBooks that started as a research project in Microsoft research. This involved both desktop and windows phone. Subsequent to a successful ebooks implementation, Much of the work culminated in Information rights management which was formulated by myself and others from a seed idea to protect office documents in the enterprise. An initial prototype with Microsoft office built by my team from that seed idea is now a billion dollar business for Microsoft.
