3.3.1 Abstract Data Model

  • Article

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.

RMS Account Certificate (RAC) Chain: An XrML 1.2 certificate chain that defines the 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.

RAC key pair: The key pair from the user's RAC.

User public key certificate: A certificate similar to the RAC that contains only the user's public key. This certificate takes the format of the RAC minus the FEDERATIONPRINCIPALS node.
