Content protection is a process designed to impose copy protection restrictions in storage media. It helps to authorize the commercial and entertainment content and protects it across various digital interfaces such as the Internet and media devices. As a part of antipiracy, content protection systems are designed to provide value-added services to content owners who distribute their services to customers. Therefore, in the digital world, content protection is mainly about confidentiality and legal concerns of the content. As online piracy accounts for the loss of billions of dollars, antipiracy and protecting copyright material is a major concern. Media and publishers are increasingly protecting their content from being stolen or illegally produced. Content protection is enhanced through various solutions to offer multi-device use while protecting the linear and on-demand content. Content providers and distributors use security implementations on connected devices to protect the streaming of high-value content, such as 1080p, 4K, and ultra-high definition (UHD) using software and hardware technologies that are cost-effective. The types of content protection can be broadly fragmented into conditional access system (CAS), digital rights management (DRM), and watermarking.
