What is the Adobe Access DRM (version 5.2) "External CEK" feature?

[ Prior to Access 5.2 ]
The randomly-generated (or user-provided) Content Encryption Key is encrypted using an asymmetric "license server key" and then stored in the content's metadata.  The CEK is never required to be persisted anywhere else (like a Key Management system or secure database).  When a client device makes a license request, the content metadata is sent to the Access DRM License Server, which has the private asymmetric key needed to decrypt the CEK out of the metadata.  The license server can then issue a license to the client containing this CEK.  For more details on the entire workflow, please see this post: DRM Packaging and License Issuance Lifecycle/Workflow
[ New Feature introduced in Access DRM 5.2 - External CEK ]
Due to popular demand, version 5.2 of Access DRM introduced a new Key Retrieval scheme called "External CEK".  The reason this name was chosen is because the CEK is now external from the metadata (where it traditionally resided).  Instead of the encrypted CEK being stored in the content metadata, a CEK-ID is stored there instead.  When the license server is processing a license request, if it detects that the KeyRetrievalType of the request is of type "ExternalKeyRetrieval", then the license server must implement logic to do a retrieval of the CEK, which is specific to the company using Access DRM.  The key retrieval may be via a KeyManagementService, a SecureDatabase, or even something as simple as a locally-stored flat file (hopefully only for testing purposes).
Using internal-CEK or external-CEK is transparent to the client device; no code has to change (or has to change if you're upgrading from an earlier version of Access).  The only changes needed to incorporate External-CEK into your Access DRM workflow is to make a change on the content packaging side (to enable E-CEK and specify the CEK-ID), and on the license server side (to recognize the KeyRetrieval type as E-CEK and then do a CEK fetch).
Details on how to integrate the External-CEK workflow into your Adobe Access DRM infrastructure is included in your Adobe Access v5.2 documentation and DVD.
cheers,

  • [11/21/2014] Adobe Access DRM Customer Advisory - SEVERE - Chrome 39 Corruption of Adobe Access DRM License Store

    [ Problem ]
    The Chrome browser version 39 upgrade on Mac OS will cause a corruption to the Adobe Access DRM (Primetime DRM) license stores.  Users of Chrome 39 on Mac OS will not be able to watch Adobe Access DRM protected content if they have previously played protected content, unless they manually reset their DRM license store.  If the end-user does not manually reset their DRM license store, they will see a client-side DRM Error Code 3321 on every playback attempt.
    This problem affects Mac users because Chrome will automatically update to a 64bit version of the browser.  Windows users will  not see this problem unless they opt-in for an upgrade to 64bit.
    [ Workaround ]
    Reset the Adobe Access DRM license store as per https://forums.adobe.com/thread/700107
    [ Permanent Fix ]
    Adobe will update the next version of Flash Player (December 2014) to accommodate this Chrome 39 upgrade scenario.  Google and Microsoft will also integrate this new Flash Player into Chrome and Internet Explorer at their earliest convenience.
    [ Background ]
    Prior to Chrome 39, Chrome on Mac OS was using 32bit architecture.  Chrome 39 enabled 64bit functionality, and MacOS will automatically upgrade Chrome 32bit to the 64bit version, which causes corruption to the Adobe Access DRM license store.  As a result of this breaking change from Google. To mitigate this type of failure in the future, Adobe will do pre-emptive testing of Google’s upcoming dev-channel builds to ensure backwards-compatibility with Adobe Access DRM.

    FOLLOWUP SENT OUT ON TUESDAY, 11/25/2014
    Hello,
    On Friday, November 21, Adobe distributed a Customer Advisory about a Chrome browser auto-update to version39 that caused playback of Adobe Access DRM streams to fail (with a DRM Error #3321 – 'Indiv Failed').  Only the Mac OS platform was affected.  More details of the announcement can be found at: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1641382
    As of Tuesday, November 25th, an update to the Chrome browser has begun rolling out to resolve this issue.  The updated version of Chrome browser (64bit) is 39.0.2171.71.
    Cheers,

  • Does Adobe Access DRM work on Roku?

    Does Adobe Access DRM work on Roku? If not, is there support planned for it in the near future ?
    The Adobe Primetime press release states Roku as a supported platform. Does this mean Adobe Access DRM will be supported on Roku ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Abey,
    Currently, we don't support Access on Roku, but we are actively working on expanding our device coverage.

    Are you currently working on a tryout of Premiere Elements 12 downloaded from Adobe?
    If so, you do not have to buy from Adobe. You can purchase the version from an authorized reseller of
    the product.
    At that point, you can leave the 12 tryout installed and just install your purchased serial number from
    the authorized reseller or uninstall the tryout and just install the purchased product with its serial number.
    When you open a tryout 12 project file (with Adobe watermark) in a purchased Premiere Elements 12, the
    Adobe watermark should disappear
    a. if you use Timeline/Delete Rendered Files
    or
    b. do nothing...so of us have found that just opening the tryout file in a purchased product removes the Adobe
    watermark automatically.
    As for
    If I buy this 13 version, I'm going to loose all the projects I did before with the elements 12 test evaluation?
    Are you talking about the Adobe watermark? You will not lose the projects, but whether or not the Adobe watermark
    is removed in a purchased version which is not the version in which it was created is of concern.
    I will see what exploration and experimentation on that I can do.

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

    There is a "latest' version of 6i and 9i and 10g. Each of these uses a similar underlying repository. Each is connected to a Designer that generates a specific release of Developer (6i gens Forms 6i, 9i gens Forms 9i, etc).
    About now, the latest 10g is 9.0.4.5, while the latest 9i is 9.0.2.9, and the latest 6i is 4.11.

  • What is the significance of plan version?

    Hi all,
    Pls tell what is the significance of plan version? What will happen if I create some orgunit oin current plan and some org unit in another plan?

    Hi..,
    Plan versions are scenarios in which you can create organizational plans.
    ==>In the plan version which you have flagged as the active plan version, you create your current valid organizational plan. This is also the integration plan version which will be used if integration with Personnel Administration is active.
    ==>You use additional plan versions to create additional organizational plans as planning scenarios.
    But Only one plan version will be active at any time !!!
    As a rule, a plan version contains one organizational structure, that is, one root organizational unit. It is, however, possible to create more than one root organizational unit, that is more than one organizational structure in a plan version.
    For more information on creating plan versions, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Personnel Management ® Global Settings in Personnel Management ® Plan Version Maintenance.

  • HT1338 hi what is the high os x version I can install on macbook build on 2007 with 2.16gh cpu and 120 gb harddisk

    Hi
    what is the high os x version I can install on macbook build on 2007 with 2.16gh cpu and 120 gb harddisk.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    or Mountain Lion:

  • HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

    I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

    That is correct,
    The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
    The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

  • What are the rules about switching versions?

    I thought projects created in iMovie 9 showed up in iMovie 10, but I just tried creating a new project in iMovie 9 this morning and it is not showing up in iMovie 10, even though I see projects from 2013 and before in there.
    Also, what are the rules about switching versions? I know iMovie 9 much better, so can I start a project there and finish it in iMovie 10? I would like to gradually learn iMovie 10, but not all at once.
    I assume that once a project is edited in iMovie 10, it can't be worked on in iMovie 9 anymore.

    You have to update iMovie 9 projects to iMovie 10 from within iMovie 10 before they will appear in iMovie 10 as iMovie 10 uses a completely different project/event file system.  After updating you can still work on projects in iMovie 9 but you won't see any changes made in iMovie 10 and you can't transfer them back. 
    I would have a good look at the iMovie 10 help files first since a lot is changed and some features have been discontinued that might be important to you.
    In order to try out iMovie 10 on just one of your iMovie 9 projects, put the folders just for that project in a separate iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folder and hide the project and event folders containing the projects you don't want to update from iMovie 10 by enclosing them in a higher level folder (only projects and events folders in the Movies folder of the boot drive or at the root level of another drive or partition will be visible to iMovie).
    I did it this way and I'm glad I didn't try to update evrything at once!
