Case Study: Strive Technologies achieves secure, scalable streaming at lower CDN cost with Irdeto DRM and P2P

How P2P and DRM together help to combat piracy

Strive Technologies, a European provider of P2P video delivery technology, aimed to combine its efficient distribution network with robust digital rights management (DRM) to combat piracy and reduce content delivery costs for OTT services. Their challenge was to prove that peer-to-peer delivery could work seamlessly with encrypted content from a leading security vendor like Irdeto without compromising on content protection.

The solution involved a partnership with Irdeto to integrate its DRM solution with Strive’s P2P technology, Flink. This collaboration validated that encrypted video segments could be securely shared between user devices without any compromise to the DRM security. The result was a highly scalable delivery system that maintains content protection while significantly reducing data traffic costs for operators by up to 75%.
