1. A method, comprising:
- authenticating a single-sign-on session;
issuing an authentication token, after authenticating the single-sign-on session at a service access management platform;
ascertaining, at the service access management platform, that the authentication token is valid;
issuing a service authorization token at the service access management platform in response to ascertaining that the authentication token is valid;
ascertaining, at a content management platform, that the service authorization token is valid;
supplying, by the content management platform, a content request for a media asset and a device verification request for a device to a device verification platform in response to ascertaining that the service authorization token is valid, wherein the device verification request is based at least in part on the content request for the media asset;
ascertaining, at the device verification platform, that the device is verified;
issuing a key at the device verification platform in response to ascertaining that the device is verified and to receiving the content request for the media asset, wherein the key comprises information suitable for processing content associated with the media asset;
issuing an access token at the content management platform in response to ascertaining that the service authorization token is valid, wherein the access token is associated with the content request for the media asset;
ascertaining, at a content access management platform, that the access token is valid for the content request for the media asset;
issuing a network access token at the content access management platform in response to ascertaining that the access token is valid for the content request for the media asset;
ascertaining, at a content distribution platform, that the network access token is valid for the content request for the media asset;
communicating, by the content distribution platform, the media asset to the device in response to ascertaining that the network access token is valid for the content request for the media asset,communicating, by the device verification platform, the key to the device; and
accessing the media asset based at least in part on the key.
