The SparqFest team has years of experience building secure cloud-based solutions. We provide encryption by delivering content as an HLS stream over HTTPS to clients. For the filmmakers and our clients, they have confidence that it cannot be intercepted by third-parties and cannot be downloaded. This is from 10+ years experience. Filmmaker exhibition copies are never downloaded to audience computers, and downloadable copies are available only to festival staff for programming in-person events.
Additional levels of DRM are also available.
