Abstract
In various examples, a file such as one representing a game build may be encrypted using a (e.g., randomly generated) content-encryption key, and the content-encryption key may be encrypted using a key-encryption key. The encrypted content-encryption key may be included in the encrypted file (e.g., as metadata), and an identifier associated with the key-encryption key may be included in the encrypted file (e.g., as part of an entropy tag appended to the filename). As such, the encrypted file may be securely distributed (e.g., via a content distribution network). Taking an encrypted game build for cloud gaming as an example, a game developer may encrypt a game build (e.g., as an encrypted disk) and distribute the encrypted build through an interface such as a developer portal of a cloud gaming platform, which may distribute the encrypted build to various data centers and/or geographic zones of the cloud gaming platform.
