Kande DRM License Provider

If you have live or on-demand video content that has been processed by AWS Elemental MediaPackage, and you would like to apply digital rights management (DRM) protection to that content, then our metered pricing AWS-native DRM License Provider service can be a simple and flexible solution for you. At the moment it supports FairPlay (with default credentials for testing) and Widevine. The service of our instance facilitates DRM key generation, storage, and license issuance.

List of Features

• Multi-DRM Support: Apple FairPlay and Google Widevine are supported
• Offline playback support: Persistent license issuance allows offline playback of DRM-encrypted content for up to 7 days
• Media type support: Support for both LIVE and VOD
• Key Generation: Create encryption keys for AWS MediaPackage to enable DRM encryption
• License issuance: Generate and manage licenses for content usage
• Scalability and High Availability: Designed to support scalability through the use of a cluster configuration. This setup involves deploying multiple instances of the DRM Server behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB), effectively creating a DRM Server cluster. This cluster-based approach ensures that the DRM service can handle large volumes of requests and provides a robust, scalable solution for managing digital rights across various content delivery networks.
