Question

I am interested in playing HTTP live streaming data from my app. The stream (which I create) is encrypted, and a URL pointing to the AES key is included in the stream index file. MPMoviePlayer hits this URL for the AES key, when it sees that encryption is enabled.

I would like this URL to be served by https, and for MMMoviePlayer to use a client certificate that I provide when the user purchases the content. I also do not want any user interaction for authentication, since they have already agreed to purchase the certificate.

Can I programmatically install the client certificate from my app so that MMMoviePlayer transparently uses this certificate to authenticate when getting the AES key?

Thanks!

Yes you can, check out the CredentialImportController class in this sample code http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/AdvancedURLConnections/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40009558

you will store the information in the application keychain which is not accessible by any other application unless you share that keychain using your app id.
