Scope
Objective This document is the DRM Server-Side Application Programming Infevface (API) Interoperabilify Specification. The main goal is to support the interoperable implementation by multiple vendors of Server-Side Middleware and Conditional Access System (CAS)/Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems. To achieve this goal@ the following specific objectives have been considered: ? Handle one or more CAS/DRM systems on the same network. ? Provide support for the adding emoving@ updating@ and querying of parameters known to be common to most CAS/DRM systems. ? Support control of broadcast services and Content on Demand (COD) assets. ? Support control of content scrambling and copy protection parameters ? Provide comprehensive response and error condition status. ? The DRM server-side API addresses only the interface between the Server-Side DRM System and the Server-Side Middleware. NOTE -This specification assumes that the CASlDRM system is a black box.
