Rather, it defines a common API that may be used to discover, select and interact with such systems as well as with simpler content encryption systems.

This is achieved by requiring content protection system-specific messaging to be mediated by the page rather than assuming out-of-band communication between the encryption system and a license or other server. Thanks Joe, looks interesting. We should keep this in mind while pursuing component technologies for the X3D Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE). http://www.web3d.org/realtime-3d/news/3d-graphics-compress-call-contributions http://www.web3d.org/realtime-3d/working-groups/x3d/compressed-binary/x3d-compressed-binary-encoding-call-contributions all the best, Don -- Don Brutzman Naval Postgraduate School, Code USW/Br brutzman@nps.edu Watkins 270, MOVES Institute, Monterey CA 93943-5000 USA +1.831.656.2149 X3D graphics, virtual worlds, navy robotics http://faculty.nps.edu/brutzman
