Security and Windows Media Encoder

Security considerations for Windows Media Encoder involve both security for the encoding computer and protecting the content you are encoding. To learn more about security issues relating to the encoding computer, refer to the security section of the operating system documentation.

To protect your content, you can protect it with digital rights management (DRM) during encoding.

If you are broadcasting, you can restrict access to the encoder by IP address. In addition, you can use Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), an industry-defined set of standards that verifies, authenticates, and optionally encrypts data at the IP packet level. For more information about IPSec, see Windows Help and Support.

If you are encoding content for broadcast from a Windows Media server, see the Windows Media Services Help for information about security and the Windows Media server.
