When you hear the term cyber security, one of the first things that strike to everyone’s mind is AES(Advanced Encryption Standard). The reason for the same is the rise of AES encryption as the global standard of encryption and one of the most popular technologies used for security purposes. If you or your organization offers or is looking out for some cybersecurity solutions, you must have definitely come across the term Advanced Encryption Standard previously.

Beyond DRM: Why DRM is not enough to prevent Piracy? VdoCipher Security Addons
For quite a long, it was considered that Hollywood approved DRMs (Google Widevine, Apple Fairplay DRM) is good enough to protect videos from piracy. The technologies which hackers pursue to illegally download content or share illegal access have advanced over the years, and currently DRM is not enough to prevent video piracy. We are listing various reasons why DRM is not enough, and what additional protections are done by VdoCipher to fix each vulnerability.

Introduction to Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) For DRM Systems
Encrypted Media Extensions is a JavaScript API that enables content protection for premium videos in the browser. EME is important in how a DRM system works. 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. The Content Decryption Module then uses the content keys to decode encrypted videos for playback. Streaming media applications use the EME API to…
Firefox DRM Basics and How to Enable Disable Content Protection
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a set of access control licensing used by online video and audio services to enforce their content usage policies. For enforcement, DRM is also used to impose limitations on browser capabilities. With the evolution of web technologies, many services have transitioned towards HTML5 videos with DRM piracy protection. This necessitated an adoption by browsers for implementing DRM mechanisms like the Content Decryption Module (CDM). Firefox, recognizing the need to support modern web standards and user experience, incorporates the Google Widevine CDM to facilitate the playback of DRM-controlled content which may require enabling Firefox DRM through…
DRM Server Solutions with Widevine License and Apple FairPlay
A server comes from the client-server architecture of online connectivity. It is usually hardware or software that provides functionalities to a client through some devices or software. They can not only store data but also provide computational resources to clients. This relationship is established through a request and response model followed through various available ports. This model is also used to set up a DRM server to provide security solutions to clients like OTT and Online course platforms.
