Secure Authenticated Channel Interface

The Secure Authenticated Channel (SAC) interface provides secure, encrypted communication among modules of Windows Media Device Manager.

The SAC interface is the IComponentAuthenticate interface.

All methods of the Windows Media Device Manager, Service Provider, and Secure Content Provider interfaces can return WMDM_E_NOT_CERTIFIED to indicate that the caller has not authenticated successfully.

Applications use the IComponentAuthenticate interface provided in Windows Media Device Manager, while Service Providers and Secure Content Providers must implement their own IComponentAuthenticate interfaces. To accomplish these tasks, use the following procedures:

• To use IComponentAuthenticate with an application
  
  
• To implement IComponentAuthenticate in a Service Provider or Secure Content Provider
