This is a detailed blog where we explain everything about video DRM (Digital Rights Management) in layman's terms. If you instead want to understand in a summary video, then there is a 2-minute summary video at end of this blog. Sections are categorized below - TABLE OF CONTENT What does DRM mean? What does DRM mean in the video playback context? Multi-DRM- What are all video DRMs available? How does DRM secure the videos? Why DRM encryption is better than standard encryption? What does Google, Apple do to maintain video DRMs & security? How can I integrate video DRM for…

Encrypted Video Streaming: Standard Technologies & VdoCipher Compared
This blog explains VdoCipher security technology using video encryption in detail and compares it with most other providers. Below is a video with all security features explained and compared. After the video is text explanation - The main encrypted video streaming protocols in use by most other streaming providers are: HTTP Live Streaming - HLS Encryption with AES-128 AES 128 Encryption & Sample AES 128 Encryption. Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) and RTMP Encrypted (RTMPE) HLS encryption, with AES-128 bit encrypted streaming, is widely marketed as a secure video encryption streaming protocol used for video protection. Indeed, certain security features…
Understanding Video Quality – Pixels (p), Bitrate (kbps), Aspect Ratios
Some of the most common questions I get asked on video quality are- What is the size of a video for a certain pixel quality? (Say 1 hour 1080p video) What does kbps mean? How much bandwidth will 1 hour 1000 kbps video consume? I want my videos in 1080/720/480/360 p like Youtube. How does VdoCipher enable that? How many video quality options I need to have to ensure smooth playback across the world? Why does VdoCipher provide video bitrate (kbps) as quality options and not pixels (p)? Here are some key definitions and concepts to help everybody better understand video quality…
5 Video Encryption Technologies Compared for Video Protection: VdoCipher
TABLE OF CONTENT What is Video Encryption? 5 Types of Video Encryption Technologies: Pros & Flaws What is video DRM encryption & how does it compare to AES 128, HLS E, and others? What encryption is used by VdoCipher? What is Video Encryption & how it relates to Video Protection? When you upload a premium course video, music video, or confidential corporate video, you surely wouldn’t want unauthorized people to access confidential company information. This is where “Video Encryption” technology comes into action for video protection. Downloading videos via free tools & downloaders, unauthorized sharing on torrent/youtube/telegram and other…
HLS Streaming, HLS Encryption & Setting High Secure DRM
What is HLS Streaming ? HLS Streaming ( HTTP Live Streaming) is a streaming protocol used for video content across desktop and mobile devices. HLS is developed by Apple, which forms the biggest use case for the streaming protocol. Beyond Apple there is wide support for HLS streaming across Android devices and browsers. Indeed, HLS can be used as a streaming protocol for all major browsers, including Chrome and Firefox. In HLS Encryption the video files are encrypted using a secure AES-128 algorithm. The AES-128 is the only publicly available security algorithm that is used by the NSA for encrypting its…
RTMPe Streaming: How does Secure RTMP Streaming work? 2020 Updated
RTMP Stream: The Technology Real Time Messaging Protocol is used to stream multimedia data - audio and video - between Flash Media Server and Flash Player. The chief utility of RTMP stream is in the optimization of the audio and video data transfer between the server and player. Its major use comes in Dynamic live streaming, and because of the encryption service RTMPE (which, despite of its security flaws, has a wide use) . In this blog post I expand upon - Use as Streaming protocol - How RTMP evolved as a widely used real time streaming protocol Differences from other…
