The system also comprises one or more content provisioners configured to send the authenticated digital content request to the first user device if a user associated with the digital content request is authorized to access the digital content. The system also comprises one or more content repositories configured to send the digital content to a second user device if the authenticated digital content request is associated with the digital content. The system also comprises a synchronizer configured to synchronize information used by the one or more content provisioners to create an authenticated digital content request with information used by the one or more content repositories to validate the authenticated digital content request.
