Securely License Proprietary Content

The RSL Collective makes it easy to protect and securely license nonpublic digital content and datasets using Encrypted Content Asset (ECA) files. ECA files are encrypted with the AES-128-CTR standard and must use the .aes file extension (e.g., book.epub.aes, website.zip.aes).

Example Code

Below is an example RSL license file for an encrypted asset.

<rsl xmlns="https://rslstandard.org/rsl">
 <content url="/book1.epub.aes" encrypted="true" 
          server="https://rslcollective.org/api">
   <license>
     <permits type="application">training</permits>
     <payment type="royalty">
       <standard>https://rslcollective.org/license</standard>
     </payment>
   </license>
 </content>
</rsl>
