System and method for managing encrypted content using logical partitions
2.
The present invention supports changes in bundled information The title key process and its background are handled lazily. The present invention supports correct counting of devices that are required to resume re-bundling processing processes when a device fails or goes offline unexpectedly during processing. The present invention uses a bundling context to represent a set of data that can be used to determine whether the bundling information used to encrypt a set of title keys is outdated and to allow re-bundling to the current cluster bundling information level.
3.
The content bundling service preferably has the ability to determine the "circulation" of bundled information from the information contained within the bundling context, and can use the information within the context to reference needs The actual bundle information that will be decrypted by the encrypted title key. When requesting encrypted content, the content provider preferably identifies the logical partition for which the encrypted title key of the requested content is a number.
