Content Key Policies

To specify encryption options on your stream, you need to create a Streaming Policy and associate it with your Streaming Locator. You create the Content Key Policy to configure how the content key (that provides secure access to your Assets) is delivered to end clients. You need to set the requirements (restrictions) on the Content Key Policy that must be met in order for keys with the specified configuration to be delivered to clients. The content key policy is not needed for clear streaming or downloading.

In most cases, the content key policy is associated with a Streaming Locator. When creating a custom streaming policy for advanced scenarios, you can specify the content key policy inside of a Streaming Policy.
