Abstract
A streaming video player and authentication server work in conjunction to provide secure streaming media. Player authentication is used to ensure that only users using an authorized media player authorized users can access and stream the media content. An encryption process protects unauthorized users from playing media streams that are intercepted between the content server and an authorized user. Additionally, timed tokens are used to ensure that a user authorized to access a stream during a specified time period cannot access the same stream at a later time when the user is no longer authorized.
