Techniques for enhancing security for thin client devices in hybrid edge cloud systems are described. In accordance with various embodiments, the hybrid system includes a cloud computing platform (e.g., the cloud) and an edge device (e.g., the edge). The cloud extracts key(s) for authentication and session establishment. The cloud also utilizes the key(s) to establish a session between the edge and a client device. The cloud additionally authorizes a content request from the client device for a media content item over the session and extracts a content key upon successful authorization. The edge caches the key(s), obtains the content key at the time of receiving the content request from the client device and transmits the content key and the key(s) with the media content item to the client device.
