EME API is a W3C-recommended standard, meaning that streaming media applications are interoperable across different browsers irrespective of the underlying DRM system. The cryptographically trusted agent of DRM systems inside browsers is the Content Decryption Module (CDM). The CDM works by receiving the content keys from the remote DRM License Server.
