Various embodiments of a system and method for digital rights management using digital signatures are described. Various embodiments may include a digital rights management component configured to receive license data including user information and an encrypted decryption key. The digital rights management component may also receive a digital signature and encrypted content data. The digital rights management component may, in response to determining that the digital signature is a valid digital signature of the license data, generate on a device, a message including the user information. The digital rights management component may also perform a key derivation function on the user information to generate a result, generate a decryption key by decrypting the encrypted decryption key with the result of the key derivation function, and decrypt the encrypted content data with the generated decryption key to generate unencrypted content data.
