Two Steps to Publish

With the optional Product Creator for MMCart, a wizard guides the user through the above steps on their mobile phone, tablet or PC. There are three simple steps to publishing powerful HLS videos or live events in MMCart:

1)Upload one or bulk videos from mobile phone, tablet or PC
2)Review the file list, specify the specific name, price, description, category, etc.
3) Submit the list of uploaded product

That is all there is to it! You can publish hundreds of videos, songs, images, ebooks, or shipped products, in a matter of minutes.  Users can then browse and purchase videos or other media, and view it immediately, or anytime later when they log in. With our security plugins, MMCart is capable of implementing Simple DRM Plus. 

Simple DRM Plus

Simple DRM Plus (TM) is a plug-in-play implementation of Apple's widely accepted HLSe, combined with proven authentication and content protection technologies. Simple DRM Plus is a technology and practice, developed by MediaGration; combining multiple standards-based security technologies, with best practices, to achieve exceptionally strong protection for video and audio content. MediaGration currently has plugins for Joomla. A Wordpress plugin set is scheduled soon, along with a generic Simple DRM Plus (TM) Toolkit (TM) for stand-alone Web sites and application developers. 

MediaGration Simple DRM Plus harnesses the below technologies:

• CAPTCHA-powered user-authentication - human "character" 
• Secure Files and Directories prevent unauthorized discovery and access to content
• Account Validation - Each user's subscription is checked before play is started
• Player Restrictions and Control - prevent play by unauthorized media players
• Hotlink protection - prevents the sharing of source links
• File Aliasing (Single-use URLs) - providing content protection and defeating sharing of source links
• AES-128 Encryption - encrypting each HLS segment; making assembly and decryption extremely difficult

By implementing the above standards-based technologies, publishers achieve the maximum security against compromise and unauthorized sharing. 

Simple DRM Plus requires the below software:

•  Joomla with CAPTCHA
• Virtuemart
• AJAX eShop
• MMCart for Joomla 3
• Mediagration Aliasing Plugin (for EMS, Wowza, WMS Panel)
• Mediagration Encryption Plugin (for EMS, Wowza, WMS Panel)

In addition to the above security technologies, two servers are required - a Web server and separate media server. Only the co-located Web server (or authorized remote Web server), has access to content. MediaGration is working with industry partners, customers and IT security firms to test the strength of Simple DRM Plus, compared to other video and audio security technologies, including conventional DRM. Some are suggesting that because it is strong enough to prevent any low-budget attempt to violate it, it can deliver more than enough security for live and recorded video and music.
