![]() It's a way to transfer the keys from your server on the Internet to the device, and use it on that device without allowing it to be obtained by an attacker so they can decrypt your content. What we did is, we attacked the most essential building block of a DRM system, which is key protection.Īnd so FairPlay Streaming is essentially and really only a secure key delivery system. So, now, at this point, any marketing folks in the audience are like: Oh, that sounds awesome! And the engineer sitting next to you is like: No, no, really, what is it? Okay. If you guys are paying your 99-dollar a year developer fee to us, you will not need to pay Apple a penny more to use FairPlay Streaming as much as you want. ![]() I mean, is Apple - how is Apple going to make me pay for this FairPlay Streaming thing? Is going to be like a per movie charge, per playback, as a flat rate? We went back and forth on that, and we eventually did settle on a flat rate. Now, you may be saying, okay, well, that sounds pretty good, but I've got a lot of content. And it is also integrated with AirPlay, seamlessly. And, so, you get great security, but you also get great battery life. The codecs we chose, the encryption we chose, how we implemented it, even the hardware we took advantage of. And so, when we designed FairPlay Streaming, every choice we made was predicated on giving you good battery life. Of course, on our mobile devices, battery life is king. Now, you can use it on iOS, on Apple TV, and on OS X. We have been working for the past three years with some of our major content partners to help them deploy FairPlay Streaming in their apps and on Apple TV.Īnd at this point, it has been used to protect a lot of content, including some of the most popular movies and television shows in the world. So what is it? First and foremost, it is our best content protection technology, packaged in a way that allows you to use it to protect your HLS content. You know, we are always looking at whatever it is that's preventing you guys from using HLS to deploy your content the way you want to, and content protection, which is to say allowing your users to watch your content, listen to your content without making unauthorized use of it, has always been a really difficult problem that a lot of you have had to sort of contend with.Īnd, as the bit rates get higher, and the resolutions get higher, those demands are only going to get louder.Īnd that's why I am extremely pleased, finally, to be able to announce today FairPlay Streaming. Today we are going to be talking about a pretty exciting addition to HTTP Live Streaming. ![]() Welcome to this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. ![]()
