Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, a request for desired content from a client device, the content being stored in a content delivery network (CDN). The method further includes generating, based on data available to the content sharing platform, a partial trust metric associated with the client device, wherein the partial trust metric is to be used by a CDN server to make a decision regarding access to the desired content by the client device. The method further includes generating a response to the content request, wherein the response comprises one or more resource locators for accessing the desired content in the CDN, and the partial trust metric. The method further includes sending the response to the client device to enable the client device to request the desired content from the CDN server using the resource locator(s) and the partial trust metric.
