1.3.5 Offline Publishing

Offline publishing does not make a call to the server. The client is required to have a valid CLC chain, RAC, and security processor certificate (SPC) to publish offline. For an overview of the bootstrapping process, see sections 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.

When the client is used to protect content, it generates a PL that contains the usage policy and the content key, both of which are encrypted using the server's public key. The PL also contains a reference to a server that can be used to issue ULs from the PL.

During offline publishing, the usage policy and content key are encrypted using the server's public key from the issuer of the CLC. The PL is signed using the CLC private key, and the resultant signed PL chain includes the PL, CLC, and SLC from the CLC chain.

There are no request and response methods used for offline publishing.
