If you want to issue a leaf license to a user, the SDK must decrypt the CEK contained in the content metadata and re-encrypt it for the machine requesting a license. To decrypt the CEK, the server must provide information required to decrypt the key. Call ContentInfo.setKeyRetrievalInfo()
and provide an AsymmetricKeyRetrieval
object. If the metadata includes multiple policies, the server must determine which policy to use and call LicenseRequestMessage.setSelectedPolicy()
. Then call LicenseRequestMessage.generateLicense()
to generate the license. Using the License
object that is returned, you may modify the expiration or rights in the license.
If an ExternalKeyRetrieval
object is specified in the ContentInfo
object, then the license server is expected to use the associated CEK ID to retrieve the appropriate CEK that is inserted into the license.
See the Adobe Primetime DRM External CEK Overview for more details on how to use the External CEK workflow.
