Systems and methods for efficient content packaging

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

• receive encoded content;
• package the encoded content into encrypted content segments via common segment hybrid encryption packaging that creates a single-key encryption implementation and a multi-key encryption implementation where at least a portion of the encrypted content segments are common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation;
• generate a single-key encryption implementation INIT segment that indicates the at least portion of the encrypted content segments common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation;
• and
• generate a multi-key encryption implementation manifest that indicates the at least portion of the encrypted content segments common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

• receive encoded content;
• identify a version of the encoded content to be offered in a multi-key encryption implementation but not a single-key encryption implementation;
• and
• package the encoded content into encrypted content segments via common segment hybrid encryption packaging that creates the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation where at least a portion of the encrypted content segments are common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation, by:
• packaging the version of the encoded content into second encrypted content segments that are encrypted with a second key different than a first key used to encrypt the at least portion of the encrypted content segments that are common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving encoded content;
• and
• packaging the encoded content into encrypted content segments via common segment hybrid encryption packaging that creates a single-key encryption implementation and a multi-key encryption implementation where at least a portion of the encrypted content segments are common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation, by:
• requesting a first encryption key for the at least portion of the encrypted content segments that are common to both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation;
• requesting a second encryption key for second encrypted content segments that are to be offered via the multi-key encryption implementation but not the single-key encryption implementation;
• providing the first encryption key for use with both the single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key encryption implementation;
• and
• providing the second encryption key for use with the multi-key encryption implementation but not the single-key encryption implementation.

A system, comprising:

• a single-key manifest stored on a first tangible, computer-readable medium;
• a multi-key manifest stored on the first tangible, computer-readable medium;
• and
• a datastore comprising a second tangible, computer-readable medium, configured to store a single copy of encrypted content segments of a particular encoded version of content indicated as playback segments in both the single-key manifest of a single-key encryption implementation and the multi-key manifest of a multi-key encryption implementation, wherein the single copy of encrypted content segments is associated with both a single-key INIT segment and a multi-key INIT segment.
