Provisioning a Computing System for Digital Rights Management

摘要

Various embodiments utilize hardware-enforced boundaries to provide various aspects of digital rights management or DRM in an open computing environment. Against the backdrop of these hardware-enforced boundaries, DRM provisioning techniques are employed to provision such things as keys and DRM software code in a secure and robust way. Further, at least some embodiments utilize secure time provisioning techniques to provision time to the computing environment, as well as techniques that provide for tamper-resistant storage.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, using the computer, an attestation request from a digital rights management (DRM) partition associated with a computing device; determining, using the computer, validity associated with the attestation request; responsive to a valid determination, sending, using the computer, a private key to the DRM partition associated with the computing device, the private key associated with decrypting encrypted content; and provisioning, using the computer, encrypted DRM software to the DRM partition associated with the computing device, the encrypted DRM software configured to be decrypted using the private key.
