MONITORING STREAMING MEDIA CONTENT

Abstract

Systems and methods disclosed herein in which at least a subset of segments of streaming media content, such as streaming video content, are signed with identifiers for provenance purposes. By signing the segments, the segments may be tracked to determine, among other things, whether the segments being streamed to a media player during a streaming session are being played by the media player, where the segments are being played, and/or whether the streaming session is an unauthorized streaming session as a result of a piracy activity.
