Systems and methods to deliver content during client authentication process in a distributed computing system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, to:
• receive a first request for content, the first request for content comprising an identifier of a location of the content;
• cause playback of the requested content to begin at a client device;
• receive a content-based authentication token generated by the client device, wherein the content-based authentication token is associated with a second request for content that is initiated by the client device;
• send, to a content sharing platform located at a different geographic vicinity, the content-based authentication token for verification by the content sharing platform;
• and
• responsive to receiving, from the content sharing platform, an indication that the content-based authentication token is valid, cause playback of the requested content to continue at the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first request for content, the first request for content comprising an identifier of a location of the content;
• causing playback of the requested content to begin at a client device;
• receiving a content-based authentication token generated by the client device, wherein the content-based authentication token is associated with a second request for content that is initiated by the client device;
• sending, to a content sharing platform located at a different geographic vicinity, the content-based authentication token for verification by the content sharing platform;
• and
• responsive to receiving, from the content sharing platform, an indication that the content-based authentication token is valid, causing playback of the requested content to continue at the client device.
