Abstract
A shared computing infrastructure has associated therewith a portal application through which users access the infrastructure and provision one or more services, such as content storage and delivery. The portal comprises a security policy editor, a web-based configuration tool that is intended for use by customers to generate and apply security policies to their media content. The security policy editor provides the user the ability to create and manage security policies, to assign policies so created to desired media content and/or player components, and to view information regarding all of the customer's current policy assignments. The editor provides a unified interface to configure all media security services that are available to the CDN customer from a single interface, and to enable the configured security features to be promptly propagated and enforced throughout the overlay network infrastructure. The editor advantageously enables security features to be configured independently of a delivery configuration.
