  • While DRM is still rolling out, Uscreen provides several other effective mechanisms to protect your content:

🔒 Transport Layer Security (TLS)

  • What it does: Encrypts data transferred over the internet, protecting sensitive information such as login credentials and video streams.

  • How it works: All data sent between your viewers and Uscreen servers is encrypted using the TLS protocol.

  • Key Detail: Custom domains require SSL certificates, which Uscreen sets up within 48 hours.

👥 IP Concurrent Sessions Limit

  • What it does: Restricts the number of concurrent logins per IP address, preventing password sharing.

  • How it works: You can define the maximum number of simultaneous sessions allowed for a single account.

🌍 Geo-Blocking

  • What it does: Ensures your content is only accessible in authorized regions.

  • How it works: Set country-specific rules to limit access to videos, your website, or native apps.

🤖 reCAPTCHA

  • What it does: Detects and blocks bots on your site’s login and checkout pages.

  • How it works: Google’s reCAPTCHA v3 assigns a “trust score” to user interactions and blocks suspicious activities automatically.

  • Contact support and request it to be enabled for your storefront.

🔑 Token-Signed URLs

  • What it does: Prevents unauthorized downloading or embedding of your videos by using secure, time-limited playback links.

  • How it works: Signed playback URLs include a security token that expires after a specific duration (e.g., one hour plus the length of the video).

    • If a user pauses a video for longer than the token’s validity, refreshing the page is required to generate a new token.

    • Note: Tokenized URLs currently do not cover static MP4 downloads. You can request expanded coverage for this feature.
