Intellectual property theft has a huge economic impact. The digital media sector is one of its biggest victims with annual losses running into billions of dollars.

📄️ AES-128 Encryption

The Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) specification uses AES-128 encryption to provide content protection. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. In case of HLS with AES-128, individual media segments get encrypted with a 16-octet key. Most modern streaming servers have simple configuration options for enabling AES-128 on HLS streams.
