FairPlay Streaming (FPS) is a digital rights management (DRM) technology provided by Apple. It encrypts streaming content delivered over HLS and, during playback on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and Safari, ensures that decryption keys are handled only within the secure area inside Apple devices. Together with Google's Widevine and Microsoft's PlayReady, it is counted among the major platform-specific DRMs, and commercial streaming services usually support all three.
