2.5.4.3.1.1 Main Success Scenario

  1. The user requests the application to read a file.

  2. The application uses the content client to open a file handle to the required existing file on the content server using the mechanisms of SMB 2.1 or 3.x dialect family. This operation completes successfully.

  3. The application directs the content client to read data from the file that is represented by the file handle. As part of that operation, the content client requests content information (metadata--block hashes, segment hashes, and segment hash of data (HoD) and private segment keys (Kp) for the data), as specified in [MS-SMB2].

  4. The content server sends content identifiers on the same channel to the content client, in this case, SMB version 2.1, as specified in [MS-SMB2].

  5. The content client computes segment identifiers (HoHoDk) for the data as specified in [MS-PCCRC].
