Security & Content Protection

Safeguard your content with advanced encryption and secure streaming technology.

Encrypted HLS Video Protection

AVideo’s HLS encryption ensures that both your on-demand and live videos are securely protected. Encryption keys are safeguarded, allowing only our authorized player to decrypt and play your content, creating a controlled and secure viewing experience.

Secure Livestreams with Encrypted Keys

Our livestreams are also delivered using HLS with the same level of encryption and key protection as on-demand videos. This ensures that livestreams are accessible only through authorized devices, providing robust security for your live broadcasts and preventing unauthorized access to the encryption keys.

Note: While our encryption prevents unauthorized access and downloads, please be aware that screen recordings are outside the scope of this protection.
