Watermarking of a content stream is accomplished in a session based manner to provide watermarking based on a uniquely generated manifest that will result in a stream that allows for unique identification of information. The manifest specifies a sequence of watermarks for successive segments of a content stream designated for a specific receiver. The system and method leverages existing content distribution infrastructure and has many of the benefits of conventional head-end watermarking, allows unique identification of small segments of the data stream and reduces content distribution network storage requirements.
A method for watermarking segments of a content stream to allow multiple content streams respectively associated with receivers to be distinguished from one another, the method comprising:
A system for watermarking segments of a content stream to allow multiple content streams respectively associated with receivers to be distinguished from one another, the system comprising:
Non-transient computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for watermarking segments of a content stream to allow multiple content streams respectively associated with receivers to be distinguished from one another, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to:
