I would like to use SSL as a method of client/server communication in the following scenario: Client (program) must authenticate with the server using a secret certificate (can't have other programs connect with it), it can then download media which should be encrypted on disk (to provide peace of mind to the media suppliers ). Ideally the media should be (have the option to be ) readable if the client isn't connected to the server, even though this would present a security risk, so each media item would have a certificate/key which would be encrypted, presumably with the client certificate, . Summary: server needs to verify that the connecting *program* is valid (an obfuscated build key perhaps?) Items downloaded need to be stored encrypted so that only the client program can decrypt them. Any comments / advice? Clarification required?
