🌐 Atlas DRM

🔒 Why Existing DRM Systems Are No Longer Fit for Purpose

Platforms like Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay all share a common weakness: they depend on external decryption mechanisms that can be intercepted, extracted, or bypassed.

Once a decryption key is compromised, the protected content can be copied, redistributed, and monetised illegally—often within minutes. This weakness is structural and unavoidable because traditional DRM sits around the video format, rather than being part of it.

🚀 Atlas: A Fundamentally Different Approach

Atlas takes a fresh, modern approach to content protection. Rather than attaching DRM as an add-on or wrapper, Atlas integrates access control directly into the codec itself. This means:

• The video cannot be meaningfully used or interpreted without proper authorisation
• Unauthorised copies provide no value to pirates
• Security does not rely on hiding keys on consumer devices
• The protection is inherent, not layered

Because the codec and the protection system are designed together, Atlas delivers a level of resilience that legacy DRM simply cannot match.

🧠 Secure, Flexible, Authorisation-Based Access

Atlas DRM uses short-lived, server-issued authorisation (not decryption keys) to control viewing rights. These authorisations:

• Are tied to legitimate users or devices
• Expire automatically
• Can be instantly revoked
• Cannot be repurposed by unauthorised parties

Even if intercepted, they are time-bound and useless outside their legitimate context. This allows businesses to offer secure playback while maintaining full control over access rights, subscriptions, rentals, and time-limited content.

🛡 Why Atlas DRM Is Superior to Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady

• ✔ No meaningful data is exposed to pirates: Unauthorised copies of Atlas-protected content cannot be repackaged, decrypted, or reused.
• ✔ No reliance on fragile device-based key storage: Atlas avoids the vulnerabilities that plague existing DRM systems, which depend heavily on extracting, delivering, and protecting decryption keys.
• ✔ Access can be controlled at a far more granular level: Because authorisation is integrated into the technology itself, Atlas enables next-generation models for content distribution, licensing, and monetisation.
• ✔ Instant activation and revocation: Businesses can grant or remove access in real time, without repackaging files or issuing new versions.
• ✔ Future-proof architecture: Atlas is built for the modern connected world, using a secure service-driven access model that scales effortlessly across platforms, regions, and device types.

🌍 A New Standard for the Streaming Era

Atlas is not an incremental improvement on DRM — it’s a redefinition of how premium digital content can be protected. By combining a next-generation codec with a next-generation access-control model, Atlas offers:

• Stronger protection
• More flexible control
• Greater resistance to piracy
• Better alignment with modern business models

Atlas is designed not just for today’s challenges, but for the next decade of digital media.
