Rights Object Acquisition Protocol

Rights Object Acquisition Protocol is a suite of XML-based Digital Rights Management (DRM) security protocols which enables Open Mobile Alliance-conformant user devices to request and acquire viewing and/or editing rights, permissions, privileges and other attributes from a Rights Issuer.^[1] This protocol has been specified in the OMA DRM Specification v2.0.

The ROAP protocol suite enables communication between a Rights Issuing (RI) entity and a DRM Agent resident in the user device. Rights, permissions, privileges and other attributes are encapsulated into object oriented (OO) entities called Rights Objects (RO).^[2]

The basic functionalities enabled by ROAP include:^[3]

Registration of user devices (4-pass Registration Protocol)^[3]
Request and Acquisition of RO (2-pass Rights Object Acquisition Protocol, 1-pass ROAP)^[3]
Joining and leaving of domain (2-pass Join Domain Protocol, 2-pass Leave Domain Protocol)^[3]

All protocols included in the ROAP protocol suite except the 1-pass ROAP are initialized when the user device receives a ROAP Trigger XML document.^{[citation needed]} The MIME type of the ROAP Trigger document is "application/vnd.oma.drm.roap-trigger+xml".^{[citation needed]}
