Broadpeak

Axinom Key Service supports direct integration with Broadpeak Origin Packager.

Functionality​

The Broadpeak Origin Packager requests one or more content keys. The key service generates the necessary keys using the key seed model and returns the keys with additional DRM-specific metadata where needed.

Configuring the Broadpeak Origin Packager​

When configuring the Broadpeak Origin Packager apply the below settings in the "Encryption settings" section of the Broadpeak configuration UI:

You will find the needed information in the "My Mosaic" area of the Axinom Portal. On the "DRM" settings page you will find the section Key Service config which contains the necessary information.

Broadpeak parameterValue
Encryption typeCpix
Key Server URLUse the URL that you find in the Key Service config section under the "Broadpeak" item.
Key server loginUse the "Tenant ID" from the Key Service config section.
Key server passwordUse the key service management key that was shared with you when initially creating the DRM service environment. Caution: you have received two management keys - one for the license service and one for the key service. Make sure to use the one for the key service.
Content idYou are free to choose any value.

Configure all other settings so they fit your scenario.

Key ID Override​

When using key ID override mode (activated by setting the overrideKeyIds query parameter to true. This parameter can be added to the key server URL) the key ID (attribute keyID) from the request CPIX document is not used.

...
<cpix:ContentKey kid="af1ed63c-5784-460b-9e51-309dd47b7d9c"/>
...

Instead, Axinom Key Service generates another key ID using a deterministic algorithm based on the provided contentID and other parameters.

More details about the key ID derivation algorithm will be published later.
