Token-Based Security for Links to Media Streams

摘要

Systems and methods of token-based protection for links to media streams are disclosed. For example, a computing device may generate a first token based on a private key and an encryption algorithm. The first token may be inserted into a link to a media stream. When the link is selected at a client device, a media request including the first token may be sent to a server. The server may generate a second token based on the private key and the encryption algorithm. The server may grant or deny the media request based on a comparison of the first token and the second token.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a media request in response to selection of a link to a media stream, wherein the link includes a first token that is generated based on a private key and an encryption algorithm, and wherein the media request includes the first token;generating, at the computing device, a second token based on the private key and the encryption algorithm; andgranting or denying the media request based on a comparison of the first token and the second token.
