Bug 137321 – [EME] Improvements to the secure proof of key release protocol

• Component: Media
• Status: NEW

[Jer Noble]

After conversations with clients, change the informal protocol used to generate SPoKR messages to the following:

  session = keys.createSession('mime', initData);
  ...
  session.close()

This will result in a new keymessage, the contents of which is the SPoKR blob for that session.

The client will acknowledge receipt of the blob by calling:

  session.update('acknowledge');

This will remove the session from the persistent store.

Additionally, outside of an existing storage, a client can ask for all outstanding SPoKR entries by creating a session like the following:

  session = keys.createSession('keyrelease', certData);

This will result in a new keymessage, the contents of the first SPoKR blob in the persistent store.

The client will acknowledge receipt of the blob by calling:

  session.update('acknowledge');

This will remove the session from the persistent store.
