# AACS Encryption Support
## Overview
AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is the encryption layer used by Blu-ray
and UHD 4K discs to protect content. libfreemkv implements AACS decryption so
disc access is transparent to the application.
There are two major versions:
- **AACS 1.0** -- Used by standard Blu-ray discs.
- **AACS 2.0 / 2.1** -- Used by UHD 4K Blu-ray discs. Adds a per-sector bus
encryption layer on top of the standard content encryption. UHD drives accept
AACS 1.0 host credentials for backward compatibility.
All versions use AES-128 for content decryption. The library reads the keys it
needs from `keydb.cfg`, walks the disc's Media Key Block (MKB) to resolve the
disc's key, and decrypts the content stream. AACS-encrypted discs therefore
require a `keydb.cfg`; CSS-protected DVDs do not (see the CSS notes in the
library docs).
## How it works (feature level)
When a disc is scanned, the library:
1. Reads the disc's AACS key-input files from the `/AACS/` directory.
2. Resolves the disc's key from `keydb.cfg` — either directly from a per-disc
entry, or by walking the MKB with the keys present in the keydb.
3. Performs the drive-level SCSI authentication handshake needed to obtain the
Volume ID and, for UHD, the bus-decryption key.
4. Decrypts the content stream as titles are read.
A resolved key is verified against actual disc content before it is applied, so
a stale or wrong key fails loudly rather than producing silent garbage. If no
usable key is available for an AACS-encrypted disc, the library surfaces a
specific error (the E70xx family) describing which part of the chain was
missing, and a missing `keydb.cfg` surfaces as `Error::KeydbLoad` with the
sentinel path `<no keydb in search paths>`.
## API Usage
AACS decryption is transparent to the application. `Disc::scan()` handles
everything automatically:
```rust
use libfreemkv::{Drive, Disc};
use libfreemkv::disc::ScanOptions;
use std::path::Path;
let mut drive = Drive::open(Path::new("/dev/sg4")).unwrap();
drive.wait_ready().unwrap();
drive.init().unwrap();
let disc = Disc::scan(&mut drive, &ScanOptions::default()).unwrap();
// Check encryption state
if disc.encrypted {
if let Some(ref aacs) = disc.aacs {
println!("AACS {}.0", aacs.version);
println!("Key source: {}", aacs.key_source.name());
if let Some(mkb_ver) = aacs.mkb_version {
println!("MKB version: {}", mkb_ver);
}
} else {
println!("Encrypted but keys not available");
}
}
// Read content -- decryption is automatic
let mut reader = disc.open_title(&mut session, 0).unwrap();
while let Some(unit) = reader.read_unit().unwrap() {
// decrypted content
}
```
The application never touches keys, never calls decryption functions, and never
manages handshakes. All of that is internal to `Disc::scan()` and the content
reader.
### KEYDB Location
`ScanOptions` controls where the keydb is loaded from. If no explicit path is
set, the library checks the standard config locations. To specify an explicit
path:
```rust
let opts = ScanOptions::with_keydb("/path/to/keydb.cfg");
let disc = Disc::scan(&mut session, &opts).unwrap();
```
### AacsState
After a successful scan, `disc.aacs` contains an `AacsState`:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `version` | `u8` | AACS version (1 or 2) |
| `bus_encryption` | `bool` | Whether bus encryption is active |
| `mkb_version` | `Option<u32>` | MKB version from disc |
| `disc_hash` | `String` | Identifier for the disc's key-input files |
| `key_source` | `KeySource` | How the disc's key was resolved |
## keydb.cfg
`keydb.cfg` is the single source of AACS key material. It is a text file (lines
starting with `;` or `#` are comments) holding the host credentials and per-disc
entries the library uses to resolve a disc. autorip can auto-download and
refresh it from a configured URL. The library does not ship any AACS keys
compiled into the binary.
