3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This specification does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this specification.

RMS Server private key: The private key of the RMS server used for decryption and signing.

Content key: The key used to protect content.

Publishing license: An XrML 1.2 license that defines usage policy for protected content and contains the content key with which that content is encrypted. The usage policy and content key in the publishing license are encrypted with the server's public key.
