Stream Shield: An Anti-Piracy Movie Streaming Android Application with Screen Recording Detection and Integrated Media Content Protection using Advance Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm

Abstract

In the context of movie streaming, unauthorized screen recording during playback poses a significant threat to the integrity of copyrighted content, leading to illicit distribution and negatively impacting both content creators and legitimate viewers. To combat these issues, "StreamShield," an anti-piracy movie streaming Android application, has been developed. This project focuses on integrating algorithms and technology to address screen recording detection and content protection while actively engaging users in the fight against piracy. The key features of the StreamShield application are designed to fortify content protection and enhance the user experience. The application itself incorporates an Anti-Screen Recording Mechanism, an Encrypted Media File system using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, and a Picture Overlay Interference feature that adds an extra layer of complexity for illicit screen recording. By addressing these challenges, StreamShield not only redefines copyright enforcement but also empowers users to actively participate in safeguarding creative content. This project adheres to ISO-25010 guidelines, ensuring functionality, performance efficiency, reliability, and usability, thus contributing to a more secure and accountable digital entertainment ecosystem.
