How to protect Flash Lite content with OMA DRM 1.0 Forward Lock for Symbian installer .sis

2009-05-02T19:59:28+03:00

I publshied an article on the Forum Nokia Wiki, explaning how to create a OMA DRM 1.0 Forward Lock protection for Flash Lite content when is packaged into a SIS file.

The idea is pretty simple but it took sometime to get it done for several reasons. It involves creating a new file in PIP format which contains other files. I figure out the method several months ago but I had to do several tests and rebuild the Symbian C++ code for launching the Flash Lite content.
