US Patent 8627432 Web browser playback for a video provisioning system

A method, performed by a video provisioning system, may include receiving a request for a first digital rights management (DRM) token, associated with a video asset purchased via the video provisioning system, from a browser application associated with a user device and providing the first DRM token to the browser application. The method may further include receiving a license authorization request to issue a DRM license for the video asset, where the license authorization request is received from a license server, where the DRM license is to be used by the user device to decrypt the video asset, and where the license authorization request includes a second DRM token; determining whether the second DRM token matches the first DRM token; and authorizing the license server to issue the DRM license for the video asset, when the second DRM token matches the first DRM token.
