The Common Encryption Scheme (CENC) intended to protect streaming media has vulnerabilities that security researcher David Buchanan exploited, allowing for unauthorized saving and replaying of content.
Buchanan's DeCENC attack, which can decrypt CENC-protected content, recalls the infamous DeCSS, marking a significant security flaw that could impact major streaming services.
Despite the potential for DeCENC to compromise streaming, Buchanan notes that simpler methods for media theft exist, highlighting broader challenges in securing digital content.
Buchanan's concerns should resonate with companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu who rely on CENC for protecting their streaming media from piracy and unauthorized distribution.
