Abstract
A method and apparatus to provide an authoring tool enabling a user to create content and to selectively encrypt content is described. The encryption is designed to associate an entitlement with the content, the entitlement restricting access to the content. The system in one embodiment further includes a reading tool to access various content, the reading tool to enable an integrated reading of clear-text content and encrypted content. The system, in one embodiment, is designed to interact with a secure content service to provide a decryption key when an authorized user wishes to access the encrypted content.
