G06Q 30/02
H04L 12/26

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.

Abstract:

A method receives, by a processing device of a streaming server, a first request to view the media item from the client device via a connection between the client device and the streaming server. Prior to a verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, the method provides an encrypted portion of the media item to the client device via the connection between the client device and the streaming server. Responsive to the verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, the method sends, by the processing device via the connection between the client device and the streaming server, a cryptography key 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.

Abstract:

Implementations disclose merged video streaming, authorization, and metadata request. A method includes receiving, by a streaming server, a first request to view a media item from a client device via a connection between the client device and the streaming server, and sending a second request to an authorization server to verify that the client device is authorized to play the media item. The method further includes: prior to receiving a response from the authorization server, providing an encrypted portion of the media item to the client device via the connection, receiving, from the authorization server, a verification that the client device is authorized to play the media item, and sending, via the connection between the client device and the streaming server, a cryptography key for decrypting the encrypted portion of the media item to the client device.
