Abstract

A streaming server receives a first request to view the media item from the client device via a connection between the client device and the streaming server. An encrypted portion of the media item is provided to the client device. A cryptography key is sent to the client device for decrypting the encrypted portion of the media item by the client device to facilitate the playback of the decrypted portion of the media item. A verification is received to determine whether the client device is authorized to play the decrypted media item.
