Geographically local license sharing
Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for geographically local license sharing. The method includes transmitting, from a media server, a shared secret to a licensed client, the licensed client broadcasting a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with the licensed client. The method also includes receiving, at the media server, an access token and the unique identifier of the licensed client from an unlicensed client, the access token and the unique identifier received by the unlicensed client from the licensed client based on a proximity of the unlicensed client to the licensed client. The method also includes validating, by the media server, the access token based on the unique identifier and the shared secret with the licensed client. The method also includes enabling the unlicensed client to access media content of the media server upon validation of the access token.
1. A computer-implemented method for geographically local license management, comprising:
transmitting, from a media server, a shared secret to a licensed client server broadcasting a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with the licensed client server, wherein the licensed client server is logged into by a user based on user credentials;
receiving, at the media server, an access token and the unique identifier of the licensed client server from an unlicensed client server based on a predefined timeout period, wherein:
the access token comprises a JSON Web Token (JWT),
the access token and the unique identifier are transmitted from the licensed client server to the unlicensed client server based on a proximity of the licensed client server being within less than a predetermined range of the unlicensed client server, and
the unlicensed client server is logged out of by the user based on the user credentials;
authenticating, by the media server, an evolving one-time passcode included in the access token based on a configurable expiry time of the evolving one-time passcode;
decrypting, by the media server, the access token using the shared secret to confirm the access token;
determining a validity of the unlicensed client server based on the unique identifier, authenticating the evolving one-time passcode, and decrypting the access token; and
enabling, by the media server, the unlicensed client server to access encrypted payloads of premium content of the media server based on the validity of the unlicensed client server.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the shared secret comprises an encrypted key.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless signal comprises a short-range wireless communication signal.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the access token based on a configured timeout.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the access token is encrypted based on the shared secret.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, from the media server, the encrypted payloads of premium content to the unlicensed client server.
7. A system for geographically local license management, comprising:
a licensed client server configured to broadcast a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with the licensed client server, wherein the licensed client server is logged into by a user based on user credentials;
an unlicensed client server, wherein the unlicensed client server is logged out of by the user based on the user credentials; and
a media server comprising:
a processor; and
a memory comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform:
transmitting, from the media server, a shared secret to the licensed client server;
receiving, at the media server, an access token and the unique identifier of the licensed client server from the unlicensed client server based on a predefined timeout period, wherein the access token comprises a JSON Web Token (JWT), and wherein the access token and the unique identifier are transmitted from the licensed client server to the unlicensed client server based on a proximity of the licensed client server being within less than a predetermined range of the unlicensed client server;
authenticating, by the media server, an evolving one-time passcode included in the access token based on a configurable expiry time of the evolving one-time passcode;
decrypting, by the media server, the access token using the shared secret to confirm the access token;
determining a validity of the unlicensed client server based on the unique identifier, authenticating the evolving one-time passcode, and decrypting the access token; and
enabling the unlicensed client server to access encrypted payloads of premium content of the media server based on the validity of the unlicensed client server.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the shared secret comprises an encrypted key.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the wireless signal comprises a short-range wireless communication signal.
10. The system of claim 7 , further comprising stored sequences of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:
receiving the access token based on a configured timeout.
11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising stored sequences of instructions, wherein the access token is encrypted based on the shared secret.
12. The system of claim 7 , further comprising stored sequences of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:
transmitting, from the media server, the encrypted payloads of premium content to the unlicensed client server.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method for geographically local license management, comprising:
transmitting, from a media server, a shared secret to a licensed client server broadcasting a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with the licensed client server, wherein the licensed client server is logged into by a user based on user credentials;
receiving, at the media server, an access token and the unique identifier of the licensed client server from an unlicensed client server based on a predefined timeout period, wherein:
the access token comprises a JSON Web Token (JWT),
the access token and the unique identifier are transmitted from the licensed client server to the unlicensed client server based on a proximity of the licensed client server being within less than a predetermined range of the unlicensed client server, and
the unlicensed client server is logged out of by the user based on the user credentials;
authenticating, by the media server, an evolving one-time passcode included in the access token based on a configurable expiry time of the evolving one-time passcode;
decrypting, by the media server, the access token using the shared secret to confirm the access token;
determining a validity of the unlicensed client server based on the unique identifier, authenticating the evolving one-time passcode, and decrypting the access token; and
enabling, by the media server, the unlicensed client server to access encrypted payloads of premium content of the media server based on the validity of the unlicensed client server.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the shared secret comprises an encrypted key.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the wireless signal comprises a short-range wireless communication signal.
