Viewer Authorization

Authorization Layer

Attach viewer authorization context to every decision point

Use signed authorization signals so playback, moderation, and policy engines evaluate entitlement with shared context.

Challenges

What teams face today

Authorization logic is fragmented between application code, policy engines, and edge systems.
Viewer entitlement evaluations are often hard to audit retrospectively.
Regional and age-policy variants create complex failure modes.
Risks

What happens without action

Incorrect access grants during high-load or fallback behavior.
Overblocking due to ambiguous authorization state.
Weak explainability for denied access or safety escalations.
Outcomes

What success looks like

Signed, consistent authorization state across systems.
Policy evaluation inputs that can be audited and replayed.
Clear boundary handling for age, region, and entitlement changes.
How It Works

How to execute

1

Standardize tokenized context

Attach signed viewer authorization primitives to the verification flow.

2

Fuse with rights and policy

Combine entitlement state with rights-chain and moderation outputs.

3

Instrument outcomes

Emit explainable allow/deny events with evidence references.

Capabilities

Authorization primitives

Model eligibility, policy scope, and temporal validity in signed structures.

Cross-surface enforcement

Apply the same decision logic across players, gateways, and backend services.

Replayable audits

Reconstruct authorization decisions with deterministic evidence trails.

Evidence
SIP specification separates viewer authorization as an independent attestation concern.
Common Objections

Yes. SIP authorization context can be mapped from existing identity and entitlement systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The same authorization context can inform moderation, policy, and analytics workflows.
