Abstract

A first consumer electronics device includes a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor, and a processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions to configure the processor for receiving a signal indicative of close proximity of the first CE device to a second CE device. The instructions also configure the processor for providing a private key to the second CE device in response to receiving the signal. The private key is associated with a digital rights management (DRM) account for which the first CE device has been configured to access, and is configured for a single use by the second CE device to access a first audio video (AV) content without the second CE device communicating any other authentication information associated with the DRM account to access the first AV content to a content provider associated with the first AV content.
