# HLS ClearKey
ByteArk Player SDK for Flutter supports HLS ClearKey playback automatically through the native SDK on each platform (AVPlayer on iOS, ExoPlayer on Android). ClearKey is an AES-128 encryption scheme on HLS, suitable for use cases where basic protection is needed but the complexity of Widevine or FairPlay is not required.
Note
ClearKey is symmetric-key encryption. For premium content that requires higher security, we recommend Google Widevine (Android) or Apple FairPlay (iOS) instead.
