Ooyala Makes Online Video More Secure

Enables Token-Based Authentication for Secure Delivery of Premium Online Video Content

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Ooyala, Inc. a leading provider of end-to-end video platform applications and services, announced the integration of token-based authentication for the delivery of premium video content online. Unlike other well-known video platforms, Ooyala allows publishers to restrict the delivery of a video based on pre-defined user and server-side rules.

Ooyala offers several ways to protect content including support of Encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE), Geographic Distribution Restrictions and Domain-level and time-based delivery. Token-Based Authentication is another way that content owners can more easily control who has access to their content. With Token-Based Authentication, a publisher can develop subscription and pay-per-view monetization models that will only make content available if a consumer has paid for the content.

“We take content protection very seriously,” says Sean Knapp, co-founder and CTO of Ooyala. “Content owners can be confident that their content and data will be safe with us. Token-based authentication is one of over a dozen content protection measures we take to make sure that it is the content owners themselves who are in control of both distribution and monetization”

Ooyala’s Pay-per-View TV Everywhere product leverages Token-Based Authentication to deliver video.
