Application-driven playback of offline encrypted content with unaware DRM module

A system, comprising:

• one or more memory storage devices that store executable components, protected content, and decryption data enabling use of the protected content;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the stored executable components, the executable components executable to perform steps comprising:
• monitoring, by an interceptor application, whether a client device is offline or online with respect to network communications with a remote key management device (KMD) that manages content decryption data, wherein the client device is offline with the KMD if communications between the client device and the KMD are unable to occur and the client device is online with the KMD if communications between the client device and the KMD are able to occur;
• when it is determined that the client device is online with the KMD:
• intercepting content decryption data for protected content from the KMD;
• providing the content decryption data intercepted from the KMD to a digital rights management (DRM) module on the client device, such that the DRM module uses the content decryption data to decrypt at least a portion of the protected content for play by the client device;
• securely storing in a local store of the client device the intercepted content decryption data;
• and
• when it is determined that the client device is offline to the KMD:
• intercepting, by the interceptor application, a request for the content decryption data from the DRM module to the KMD;
• and
• providing the stored content decryption data to the DRM module from the local store, such that the DRM module uses the content decryption data to decrypt at least a portion of the protected content for play by the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable code, the computer-executable code when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform a process comprising:

• monitoring, by an interceptor application, whether a client device is offline or online with respect to network communications with a remote key management device (KMD) that manages content decryption data, wherein the client device is offline with the KMD if communications between the client device and the KMD are unable to occur and the client device is online with the KMD if communications between the client device and the KMD are able to occur;
• when it is determined that the client device is online with the KMD:
• intercepting content decryption data for protected content from the KMD;
• providing the content decryption data intercepted from the KMD to a digital rights management (DRM) module on the client device, such that the DRM module uses the content decryption data to decrypt at least a portion of the protected content for play by the client device;
• securely storing in a local store of the client device the intercepted content decryption data;
• and
• when it is determined that the client device is offline to the KMD:
• intercepting, by the interceptor application, a request for the content decryption data from the DRM module to the KMD;
• and
• providing the stored content decryption data to the DRM module from the local store, such that the DRM module uses the content decryption data to decrypt at least a portion of the protected content for play by the client device.
