B2B Content Distribution over CDN for OTT and Broadcast Services 

The evolution of content delivery technologies for OTT and broadcast services has transformed how media is distributed, shifting from satellite-based models to CDN-based frameworks. This paper introduces “B2B Content Distribution over CDN,” a modern approach leveraging CDNs and industry-standard DRM technologies—Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay. This method ensures cost-efficient, scalable, and secure content delivery across diverse platforms. Core components, including the Common Encryption Scheme (CENC) and the Content Protection Information Exchange (CPIX) protocol, streamline secure key management and distributor access. Advanced features like channel-based access control, real-time content revocation, and blackout enforcement enhance content management while complying with regulatory requirements [1] [2]. By reducing reliance on traditional satellite systems, B2B Content Distribution offers broadcasters and Over-the-Top (OTT) providers with a robust alternative for modernized content delivery.
