Andy,
If you take a look at the documents so far, the information
framework being developed allows but does not require definition
of specific security mechanisms such as authentication,
validation, privacy, or authorization. There has been quite a bit
of thought here put into separating rights definition from
security measures.
Please answer the question Josh - authentication, validation,
privacy, or authorization are all perfectly valid goals that don't
depend on data being encoded in any particular format.
Do the GeoDRM proposals cover an obscured encoding scheme for data?
Yes or no.
No, of course not. This was not your original question, though. Could
someone use a data encryption scheme (e.g. PGP) as a security
mechanism in combination with "GeoDRM" license decisions? Certainly.
I'd suggest taking a look at the reference model to see for yourself
what it is and even better, providing feedback on it ( http://
www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/30 has probably the most
current public version until the recently approved public document
gets posted ).
