Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processor of a first node in a media distribution system, from a second node in the media distribution system, a media segment. Authentication data related to the media segment is received from a third node in the media distribution system. The media segment is authenticated based on the authentication data. Responsive to successfully authenticating the media segment, the media segment is provided for consumption by the first node.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a first node in a media distribution system, from a second node in the media distribution system, a media segment;
- receiving, from a third node in the media distribution system, authentication data related to the media segment;
- authenticating, based on the authentication data, the media segment;
- and
- responsive to successfully authenticating the media segment, providing the media segment for consumption by the first node.
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a first node in a media distribution system, from a second node in the media distribution system, a media segment;
- receiving, from a third node in the media distribution system, authentication data related to the media segment;
- authenticating, based on the authentication data, the media segment;
- and
- responsive to successfully authenticating the media segment, providing the media segment for consumption by the first node.
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, by a first node in a media distribution system, from a second node in the media distribution system, a media segment;
- receiving, from a third node in the media distribution system, authentication data related to the media segment;
- authenticating, based on the authentication data, the media segment;
- and
- responsive to successfully authenticating the media segment, providing the media segment for consumption by the first node.
