Re: [media-and-entertainment] Use of WebRTC for media content distribution

> Supporting the Encrypted Media Extensions API for WebRTC media content distribution could be considered as one of requirements from Media & Entertainment IG. WebRTC 1.0 media stream is secured by SRTCP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) but it has no aspect of content protection.

Interestingly, end-to-end encryption scenarios were discussed by the WebRTC WG last week during their F2F. See [summary of e2e encryption discussions](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webrtc/2018Jun/0175.html). Content protection for media distribution would be use case 3 in that summary. 

Note the "It is unclear whether there is sufficient interest in that area" in that email, which suggests that the work won't happen unless people weigh in (the Media & Entertainment IG could do that) and contribute (at a per company level, not much the IG can do there).

Solution-wise, the starting point suggested in the email would use the [Identity provider framework](https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-webrtc-20180621/#sec.identity-proxy) (which will soon move to a separate spec, partly because it is not yet supported across browsers) and [isolated media streams](https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-webrtc-20180621/#isolated-media-streams) coupled with a yet-to-define double encryption mechanism.
