Applying a Second Encryption Layer to Enhance Stream Security

"As a company, we're looking to see what we can do and what are the problems people are having," Kornienko says. "One of the biggest problems is when people hack a DRM key and then restream the content or get a legitimate piece of content and then grab it and then restream it from there. We are looking at a solution where we would actually apply a second layer of encryption. That could be quantum-safe encryption keys and so on and so forth because we are able to just do the encryption level that is the most modern and most bulletproof out today."

Acknowledging that streaming privacy prevention is always a moving target, she continues, "As the information keeps coming and changing and newer algorithms are coming out, we can update them, not having to worry about what the DRM is doing because that's a much bigger behemoth that needs a large company like Microsoft or Google or Apple to actually update and move forward and apply to every single device. So there are things out there that people are doing just to see what they can do as an extra level of encryption or protection."
