A method of transferring information specifying an IPMP tool utilized for processing a content protected by IPMP to an IPMP terminal specifies and uses XML schema for terminal platform specification, parametric description, and parametric aggregation which is to be used in MPEG-n IPMP system. For example, according to the method, based on a predetermined terminal platform XML schema and language to describe a terminal platform, terminal platform specification is created based on the terminal platform schema and language to specify on what platform or terminal the IPMP tool can run. The terminal platform specification is attached to metadata associated with the tool. The terminal platform specification and the IPMP tool are transferred to an IPMP terminal which is implemented with a terminal platform parser based on the terminal platform schema and language.
