SMPTE 430-7-2008

This specification defines a “Facility List Message” (FLM) for use in Digital Cinema (D-Cinema) systems. The FLM has been designed to deliver digital certificate information between exhibition sites (facilities), KDM distributors, and/or content owners. The FLM carries three classes of information:

–Identification and useful information pertaining to the exhibition complex (FacilityInfo),

–Optionally, descriptive information about the device (DeviceDescription)

–The digital cinema certificate(s) (KeyInfo) information of the device

The FLM is based on the D-Cinema generic Extra-Theater Message (ETM) format specified in SMPTE 430-3. It uses XML to represent the D-Cinema Digital Certificate information specified in SMPTE 430-2, and provides security using standardized XML encryption and signature primitives. The FLM message uses X.509 digital certificates, constrained for the digital cinema application in SMPTE 430-2, to provide authentication and trust.
