DRM Security Best Practices

Video and streaming businesses turn to Digital Rights Management (DRM) to secure their content, but simply adding DRM is not enough. The effectiveness of DRM depends on how it is implemented and how well it is integrated into a broader security strategy. Poor implementation can lead to vulnerabilities that pirates exploit, negating DRM’s intended purpose.

Our new article DRM Security Best Practices highlights best practices to maximize DRM security and avoid common pitfalls.

Let's summarize some of the best practices here:

• Limit authorization to a specific key (or set of keys)
• Use unique content encryption keys for each asset
• Limit the duration of the entitlement
• Bind entitlement message to the client
• Apply proper DRM policies
• Use unique content encryption keys for each video profile
