An Open Source library that implements the Advanced Access Content System specification. #Advanced Access Content System #AACS library #AACS specification #AACS #Access #Content
libaacs is an open source, free and portable library software developed by the creators of the amazing and powerful VLC Media Player, and designed to implement the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) specification.
Key features include portability, as the library can run on all mainstream operating systems (see below for supported OSes), offers cryptographic functions through the libgcrypt library, it is released under a free software license, respects copyright laws, and it’s crypto and DRM-related.
In order to provide the necessary cryptographic functions, libaacs depends on the libgcrypt library. It doesn’t include any certificate or key, and encourages developers to hack it and contribute to the code.
The library also provides an easy way for developers to understand how the Advanced Access Content System specification really works. It is a cross-platform library that supports GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
A quick look under the hood of libaacs will show us that the software has been written entirely in the C programming language and it is available for download for free as a universal sources archive, supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.
To install the libaacs library on your GNU/Linux machine, you will have to first download the latest version from Softpedia. Save the file on a location of your choice, extract it, open a terminal emulator, navigate to the location of the extracted folder and execute the “./configure” command (without quotes) to configure the program, and the “make” command to compile it, without quotes, of course. To install it, you will have to run the “make install” command as root (system administrator).
