A process of encrypting video, audio, or other content to prevent unauthorized access, duplication, and distribution. DRM encryption works by protecting content during transmission and while it’s stored on a device.
The encryption keys are managed by a DRM system, ensuring that only authorized users or devices can decrypt and view the content.
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video both use DRM encryption (e.g., Widevine or PlayReady) to protect their streaming content from piracy.
Verimatrix provides DRM encryption solutions through its Multi-DRM platform to protect content across devices and platforms.
