verify a signature corresponding to at least the indexing metadata of the media archive, wherein the media archive includes the signature;
determine whether the plurality of files indicated in the file list match files included in the media archive; and
in response to verifying the signature corresponding to at least the indexing metadata and determining that the plurality of files indicated in the file list matches files included in the video archive, request, from a computing system, a decryption key for decrypting the encrypted content.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
verify a signature corresponding to the file list, wherein the media archive includes the signature corresponding to the file list; and
in response to verifying the signature corresponding to the file list, determine the plurality of files indicated in the file list match the files included in the media archive.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein to determine that the plurality of files indicated in the file list match the files included in the media archive the processor executes the instructions to determine whether a file of the plurality of files is missing from the media archive.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein to determine that the plurality of files indicated in the file list match the files included in the media archive the processor executes the instructions to determine whether a file that is not included in the plurality of files is included in the media archive.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to verify a signature corresponding to metadata prior to determining whether the plurality of files indicated in the file list match files included in the media archive, wherein the media archive includes the metadata and the signature corresponding to the metadata.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the user device is a first user device and the encrypted content was received at the computing system from a second user device, wherein the media archive is received by the first user device from the computing system, and wherein the processor executes the instructions to verify a signature corresponding to metadata, wherein the metadata indicates information about the second user device, and wherein the media archive includes the metadata and the signature corresponding to the metadata.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor executes the instructions to inhibit a request for the decryption key for decrypting the encrypted content in response to determining that the plurality of files indicated in the file list does not match the files included in the media archive.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user device, cause the processor to:
receive a request to present a media item that is associated with a media archive, wherein the media archive includes a file list that indicates a plurality of files that are to be included in the media archive, indexing metadata indicating one or more sections of the media item, and encrypted content corresponding to the media item;
verifying, by the user device, a signature corresponding to at least the indexing metadata of the media archive, wherein the media archive includes the signature;
determine whether the plurality of files indicated in the file list match files included in the media archive; and
in response to verifying the signature corresponding to at least the indexing metadata and determining that the plurality of files indicated in the file list matches files included in the video archive, request, from a computing system, a decryption key for decrypting the encrypted content.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
verify a signature corresponding to the file list, wherein the media archive includes the signature corresponding to the file list; and
