scope:
This document defines a technical solution for encrypting resources in digital publications (especially EPUB1)) and for securely delivering decryption keys to reading systems, included in licenses tailored to specific users. It also defines a simple passphrase-based authentication method for reading systems to verify the license and access the encrypted resources of such digital publications.
1) Although this document is primarily intended for the protection of EPUB publications, it can also protect digital publications in other formats, provided that the publication format supports the encryption of resources and the embedding of a license. This is especially the case for PDF documents contained in a Readium Packaging Format, as presented in Annex C. This is important for owners of large PDF collections, who want to apply the same DRM to their EPUB and PDF collections.
