摘要

A process composes a content license for a set of content. The content license has a static portion and a dynamic portion. Further, the process inserts a master key into the static portion. In addition, the process inserts a plurality of content rule sets of values into the dynamic portion and composes a unique content encryption key for each segment of content associated with one of the content rule sets of values as each of the content rule sets of values is sequentially received during recording of the content. The unique content encryption key is based on the master key and at least a subset of the content rule set of values for a corresponding segment of the content. The unique content encryption key is utilized for encryption of each segment of the content to generate a plurality of encrypted content segments for storage on the storage medium.
