Remarks
The I_IrmProtector Interface is implemented by both integrated and autonomous IRM protectors. For more information about integrated and autonomous protectors, see Custom IRM Protectors.
For integrated IRM protectors:
This method takes a stream of data that represents an unprotected file of a type that the IRM protector can understand, and then generates a corresponding data stream that represents a protected version of that file. This protected version should include the document issuance license (IL) of the protected file, and the EUL of the server, as well as the encrypted file content itself.
The file type developer must decide where and how these data components are stored within the file. However, the IRM protector should be in agreement with the client application used to view and edit files of this file type.
The protected stream can also include a warning message that is backward-compatible with previous versions of client-side viewers of the protector’s file type.
For autonomous IRM protectors:
Autonomous protectors do not need to implement this method. An autonomous protector should return the HRESULT E_NOTIMPL if this method is called.
