Abstract:

   The Secured Digital Lifecycle Protocol (SDLP) defines an
   architecture for lifecycle-governed digital objects. SDLP
   introduces a uniform model for object identity, provenance,
   state transitions, and authorized transformations, enabling
   digital goods to enforce their own lifecycle rules across
   heterogeneous systems and distribution environments.

   This document describes the architectural components that
   support SDLP objects, including identity construction,
   lifecycle state definitions, transition conditions, and the
   mechanisms by which objects validate their own integrity and
   permitted operations. The architecture defines how SDLP
   objects are created, transformed, distributed, consumed, and
   retired, and specifies the interoperability requirements
   needed for consistent behavior across independent
   implementations.

   This document does not define wire formats or protocol
   exchanges. Instead, it provides the architectural foundation
   upon which SDLP protocol specifications, security mechanisms,
   and implementation profiles can be built.
