MORE INFORMATION

IWMRMHeaderSigning interface

The IWMRMHeaderSigning interface lets you sign content headers in memory. This interface is not Automation-compliant. Besides the methods that are inherited from the IUnknown interface, the IWMRMHeaderSigning interface implements the IWMRMTools interface and exposes the following method.

AddDigitalSignatureObject: Signs the ASF content header in memory.

IWMRMHeaderSigning::AddDigitalSignatureObject

The AddDigitalSignatureObject method signs the ASF content header of protected content in memory.

Syntax

HRESULT AddDigitalSignatureObject(
  BYTE *pbHeader,
  DWORD dwSize,
  DWORD *pdwBytesNeeded
);

Parameters

pbHeader: [in, out] Pointer to a buffer that contains a valid content header. The content header with an ASF Digital Signature object is returned.

dwSize: [in] Size of the pbHeader buffer, in bytes.

pdwBytesNeeded: [out] If the dwSize parameter is too small, a value is returned that indicates how many more bytes are needed.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK and the signed content header. If the method fails, it returns an HRESULT error code. If the dwSize parameter is not large enough, the error NS_E_DRM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned, and the pdwBytesNeeded parameter indicates how many more bytes are needed.

Remarks

The content header must be valid. That is, the header must have an ASF Data object. The Data object can be empty. If the content already contains a Digital Signature object, this method will replace it with a new one. This method is similar to the Digsig.exe command-line tool. The Digsig.exe command-line tool digitally signs a file on disk, and this method digitally signs content in memory.
