Why corporate video needs this

DRM is usually discussed as a film and television problem, so corporate video is often protected only by a private link. That works until the training video names a customer, the exam question bank reaches a forum, or the results briefing is forwarded before the announcement.

Each case uses Widevine with a different policy: who is entitled, for how long, on how many devices, and whether the device has to prove it can keep decrypted frames out of reach. A mandatory training module and an invigilated exam need different answers to all four.

What the demos do

• Probe your browser for Widevine, PlayReady and FairPlay, and report which robustness levels your device supports
• Ask your display whether it can satisfy HDCP 2.2, where the policy requires it
• Allow or refuse playback based on those results, as a real deployment would
• Run the licence exchange a deployment makes with a third-party licence service for Widevine, PlayReady and FairPlay, such as EZDRM, Axinom, castLabs DRMtoday or BuyDRM KeyOS, and report the key status

Playback uses Google's public Shaka test video and an unauthenticated test licence server. The device readings are real, but the video is public and the licence protects nothing.
