Abstract

In a method for managing access to a secure content-part of a PPCD, a key reset point of the secure content-part during a workflow among workflow participants is determined. In addition, key-map files comprising subsets of access keys that provide access to the secure content-part during respective content access sessions are generated, in which at least one of the key-map files corresponds to the key reset point and comprises a first decryption key, a first verification key, a second encryption key, and a second signature key, in which the first decryption key does not correspond to the second encryption key, and in which the first verification key does not correspond to the second signature key. In addition, the plurality of key-map files are supplied to at least one of the participants.
