ALGORITHM

[The AD RMS SDK uses functionality exposed by the client in Msdrm.dll, and is available for use in Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 8. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows. Instead, use the Active Directory Rights Management Services SDK 2.1, which uses functionality exposed by the client in Msipc.dll.]
