About CMLA

Content Management License Administrator (CMLA), LLC is the entity formed to provide commercial licenses for the CMLA Technology Specification which forms a trust model for the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Digital Rights Management (DRM) version 2.0 (and, as updated) interoperability specification.

CMLA also extends this trust model to enable content and service protection for mobile broadcast by adding support of the IP Datacast over DVB-H: Service Purchase and Protection (SPP) A100 Specification Annex B (18Crypt) and the OMA Bcast DRM Profile.

Key Points:

  • CMLA addresses business security concerns of client vendors, service providers and content owners necessary to enable the rapid delivery of high-quality digital content to CMLA licensed products and services that deploy OMA DRM 2.0 or OMA DRM 2.0 and DVB H mobile broadcast.
  • CMLA provides commercial licenses to companies wishing to use the CMLA trust model and implement the CMLA Technical Specification.
  • CMLA agreements include compliance and robustness rules for CMLA licensed products and services.
  • CMLA provides trust model services (key generation and certificate signing services) for licensees (client vendors, service providers and developers) implementing OMA or OMA and DVB-H in CMLA licensed products and services.
