Do you often wonder about some of the critical components of streaming security? And which parts of the DRM process happen on the server-side vs the client-side of the video delivery service? What are the current standards that your service could deploy to ensure a robustly secure delivery to all consumer devices?
A quick clip of an answer to a common question:
Any scrambled/encrypted video content is essentially valueless without knowledge of how to reverse the encryption process. It can’t be played or redistributed. Effectively, scrambled video content often uses a different scrambling key for each time period of a live stream, and certainly for every individual video asset in a library. Reversing the encryption process, of course, requires access to the scrambling key or keys used for protection and knowledge of the algorithm used. Controlling this access is the essence of video security and why it is core to the video service business.
