Advanced DRM licensing
| Google Widevine Including Widevine Level 1 hardware-DRM detection & filtering |  |
| Microsoft PlayReady Including PlayReady SL3000 hardware-DRM detection & filtering | |
| Apple FairPlay Streaming | |
| Huawei WisePlay Including hardware-DRM detection & filtering | |
| CMLA-OMA | On request for legacy devices |
| ClearKey HLS (AES-128) | Optional |
| Hardware-security licensing In Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) | |
| Widevine CAS Conditional access system (CAS) for hybrid OTT/IPTV security | Optional |
Multi-key support for different content representations including security level filtering. For example, you can have different keys for SD, HD, and UHD/4K resolution quality content. Separate keys can also be assigned for audio tracks, as well as different content formats such as MPEG-DASH and HLS. | |
Keys can be rotated in short intervals (for example: every 10 seconds). This improves live stream security by better preventing pirating and helps combat CDN leeching. | |
Enables licenses to be downloaded on user devices for secure local offline playback. This can also be useful in online use-cases to improve latency and channel zapping speed. | |
When a license expires a new license can be automatically available ahead of time to use. This helps to avoid playback delays and mitigates against latency when changing streams. | |
For example: Enable a 1 week license time-frame to watch a 120 minute content title. License expires either after 1 week or after 120 minutes of viewing. | |
Allows a single encrypted file-set to be streamed across multiple platforms. | |
Supports signaling and license creation for AES-CTR and AES-CBC encrypted content. | |

Access control
| Device filtering / blocking By model, manufacturer, or unique ID | |
For example, you can identify server-side if a device is secure enough for HD quality, or if bit rates should be limited. This is useful as studios typically require hardware DRM to playback high quality renditions such as HD, UHD, and HDR. | |
Prevent user access to streams by denying licensing and license renewal requests. This controls how many streams can be accessed simultaneously by a given user, for example, to enable ‘limited device number’ business models. | |
| Combat CDN leeching | |
Authorize or block user access to your content in specific locations. | |
