Abstract
The three components of this content-protection architecture are:
Key discriminators of this architecture: open system, with no manufacturing or software secrets and no global or shared secrets; supports device revocation and renewability in the event of a compromise; supports legacy software without requiring changes.

Abstract
The three components of this content-protection architecture are:
- Protected Content: Content is protected by persistent encryption, using a secret key known only to the content owner. Protected content may be freely distributed, and cannot be accessed until users receive tickets;
- Ticket: For each content file (or class of files), contains content decryption key and defines rights authorized to end-user. Ticket is limited to intended user/device by being public-key encrypted. A lightweight, public-key validation function prevents "spoofing". Users can receive tickets anonymously.
- Access Manager: Software and tamper-detecting hardware safeguards the user/device's private key, secret keys; decrypts, interprets, and enforces the ticket; and ensures that content is used only as specified within the ticket.
Key discriminators of this architecture: open system, with no manufacturing or software secrets and no global or shared secrets; supports device revocation and renewability in the event of a compromise; supports legacy software without requiring changes.
