Abstract
Techniques provided herein employ a device monitoring service to provide task to content consumption devices that are steaming digital media from the streaming infrastructure. The tasks, when implemented by the content consumption devices, may reveal differences in task performance between authorized devices, which have the authorization to access the digital media, and imposter devices, which exploit vulnerabilities in the streaming pipeline to access the digital media. In addition, the techniques provided herein may include a machine learning/artificial intelligence model that is trained to recognize authorized and imposter content consumption devices based on their task performance.
