Microsoft white paper on the Windows Rights Management Services (WRMS) that I've been discussing for the last few days. As DRM Watch reports, "WRMS is fairly straightforward DRM technology for corporate applications; it's clearly intended to work with documents in Office formats. It includes certain features that make it useful in corporate settings, such as the use of X.509 certificates for authenticated identities. But it does not include certain other features that independent vendors of corporate-oriented DRM technology have available, such as changeable or revocable rights, which are found in solutions from Authentica, InfraWorks, and others." MS-Word document that took forever to download off the Microsoft site (this is not an isolated problem; you'd think such a large company could afford some better servers).
