SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DRM REGIONAL AND TIMEZONE KEY MANAGEMENT

摘要

A cryptographic media stream system for ensuring media stream content is only consumed in authorized regions. The system includes at least one encryption/decryption key source configured to provide at least one of a regional key and a timezone key, where the regional key and the timezone key are globally unique keys, a media encryption engine that receives an unencrypted media stream and encrypts the encrypted media stream, and a media decryption engine that receives the encrypted media stream, and decrypts the encrypted media stream in response to at least one of the regional key and the timezone key.
