Media Sample Encryption Example

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The following incomplete example demonstrates how to encrypt a media sample using DRM encryption. The RC4 encryption algorithm has been left out of the example due to space restrictions.

QWORD GetNextSalt(QWORD qwSalt)
{
   return InterlockedIncrement64( (volatile LONGLONG*)&qwSalt );
}

HRESULT EncryptSample( INSSBuffer *pSample )
{
    HRESULT hr = S_OK;
    INSSBuffer3 *pNSSBuffer3 = NULL;
    QWORD qwSalt = 0;
    BYTE *pbData = NULL;
    DWORD cbData = 0;

    hr = pSample->QueryInterface( IID_INSSBuffer3, (void**)&pNSSBuffer3 );
    if( FAILED( hr ) ) goto EXIT;

    hr = pSample->GetBufferAndLength( &pbData, &cbData );
    if( FAILED( hr ) ) goto EXIT;

    qwSalt = GetNextSalt(qwSalt);

    // TODO: Encrypt the sample by concatenating the initialization vector
    //   and using RC4 encryption.

    hr = pNSSBuffer3->SetProperty( 
        WM_SampleExtensionGUID_SampleProtectionSalt, 
        &qwSalt, sizeof( qwSalt ) );
    if( FAILED( hr ) ) goto EXIT;

EXIT:

    SAFE_RELEASE( pNSSBuffer3 );
    return hr;
}
