# Why This Post

To quickly find your relevant DRM integration tutorial.

# First - Questions to Self

To help formulate you DRM requirements some questions you can ask yourself

1. What are the `end-user-devices` I want to reach/playback on
2. Do I have a specific DRM Partner in mind
3. Do I need to multiple DRMs i.e Widevine, Playready, Fairplay
4. Do I want to use SPEKE to integrate with my DRM Partner
5. Does my Content Provider have specific DRM requirements

# FYI - What Many Customers Do

Here are some recommendations from what we see from our DRM customers

**(a)** for wider `end-user-device` reach

1. Use multiple drms i.e Widevine + Playready + Fairplay
2. Use Bitmovin defaults for DRM encryption (CBC vs CTR) algorithm

> ℹ Newer Widevine & Playready versions support **CTR & CBC** algorithms. Fairplay ONLY **CBC**.

**(b)** for `DRM security`

1. Use different drm keys for SD vs HD vs UHD vs Audio renditions
