PlayReady is a digital rights management (DRM) technology developed by Microsoft. It provides a system for issuing and verifying licenses for encrypted media and for distinguishing the security levels of playback devices, and it is built into Windows, Xbox, the Edge browser, and many smart TVs and set-top boxes. Supporting content packaged with Common Encryption (CENC) alongside Google's Widevine and Apple's FairPlay is the typical setup for commercial streaming services.
