Question

A company uses HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to stream live video content to paying subscribers by using Amazon CloudFront. HLS splits the video content into chunks so that the user can request the right chunk based on different conditions. Because the video events last for several hours, the total video is made up of thousands of chunks. The origin URL is not disclosed, and every user is forced to access the CloudFront URL. The company has a web application that authenticates the paying users against an internal repository and a CloudFront key pair that is already issued. What is the simplest and MOST effective way to protect the content?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Develop the application to use the CloudFront key pair to set the signed cookies that users will use to access the content. Amazon CloudFront caches content at edge locations to reduce latency and offload origins. This option meets the real-time / low-latency performance requirement.
