Defense-in-Depth Security Architecture
WAVE implements a comprehensive defense-in-depth security strategy that protects your content at every layer—from ingestion through delivery to viewer devices. Our security architecture has been battle-tested by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and content owners managing billions of dollars in intellectual property.
End-to-end AES-256 encryption ensures your content is protected both at rest and in transit. All stored content is encrypted using military-grade AES-256 encryption with keys managed in hardware security modules (HSMs). Network transmission uses TLS 1.3, the latest encryption standard, with perfect forward secrecy ensuring that even if keys are compromised in the future, past communications remain secure.
Multi-DRM support protects premium content from piracy with industry-standard digital rights management. We support Widevine (Google/Android), FairPlay (Apple), and PlayReady (Microsoft) out of the box, allowing you to deliver protected content to any device. DRM licenses are generated on-demand with customizable policies for rental periods, device limits, and playback restrictions.
Forensic watermarking embeds unique, invisible identifiers into each stream, allowing you to trace leaked content back to specific accounts or sessions. Combined with visible watermarking for deterrence, this multi-layered approach significantly reduces piracy while providing legal evidence for copyright enforcement actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What encryption algorithms does WAVE use?
WAVE uses AES-256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys in Galois/Counter Mode) for data at rest, providing authenticated encryption with associated data. For data in transit, we use TLS 1.3 with perfect forward secrecy (PFS), ensuring that even if encryption keys are compromised in the future, past communications remain secure. All cryptographic keys are managed in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware security modules (HSMs).
How does key management work?
Encryption keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware security modules (HSMs) that never expose keys in plaintext. Keys are automatically rotated every 90 days with zero downtime. Customer-managed keys (BYOK) are supported for enterprises requiring complete key control. Key access is logged with tamper-proof audit trails meeting SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements.
Can WAVE detect and prevent security threats?
Yes. Our AI-powered threat detection system monitors access patterns in real-time, automatically blocking suspicious activities like credential stuffing, brute force attacks, and anomalous access patterns. DDoS protection at the edge blocks volumetric attacks before they reach your infrastructure. All security events are logged with automatic incident response workflows and optional integration with your SIEM systems.
