System and method for prevention of electronic content capture using an embedded key server module

A computer system comprising:

• a user device comprising one or more computer processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions, which when executed by the one or more computer processors to:
• generate a key pair comprising a media encryption key and a private key corresponding to the media encryption key and to a public key;
• store the private key within a secure compartment of the user device;
• send the media encryption key, to a computer server, for encrypting media content segments corresponding to a media content;
• send, to the computer server, a request for the media content for playback on the computer system;
• receive, from the computer server, an encrypted media encryption key, an initialization vector, and the media content segments corresponding to the media content,
• wherein the media content segments are encrypted, by the computer server, using the media encryption key, and wherein the media encryption key is encrypted using the public key;
• retrieve the private key from the secure compartment of the user device;
• decrypt the media encryption key using the private key;
• detect that the media content segments are encrypted;
• responsive to detecting that the media content segments are encrypted,
• generate a key request for decryption of the media content segments;
• responsive to generation of the key request,
• provide, using a key server module embedded within the computer application, a content key context based on the media encryption key and the initialization vector;
• decrypt, using the content key context, the media content segments;
• and
• generate a display of the media content segments on a screen of the user device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating, by a user device, a key pair comprising a media encryption key and a private key corresponding to the media encryption key and to a public key;
• storing the private key within a secure compartment of the user device;
• sending the media encryption key, to a computer server, for encrypting media content segments corresponding to a media content;
• sending, by the user device, a request to the computer server for the media content for playback on the user device;
• receiving, from the computer server, an encrypted media encryption key, an initialization vector, and the media content segments corresponding to the media content,
• wherein the media content segments are encrypted, by the computer server, using the media encryption key, and wherein the media encryption key is encrypted using the public key;
• retrieving the private key from the secure compartment of the user device;
• decrypting the encrypted media encryption key using the private key;
• detecting that the media content segments are encrypted;
• responsive to detecting that the media content segments are encrypted,
• generating a key request for decryption of the media content segments;
• responsive to generation of the key request,
• providing, using a key server module embedded within the computer application, a content key context based on the media encryption key and the initialization vector;
• decrypting, using the content key context, the media content segments;
• and
• generating a display of the media content segments on a screen of the user device.
