    Abstract: A system (1000, 1100) and method (200D) for distributing watermarked media content assets wherein a main track of a media content asset is provided with a first watermarking payload and at least one variant track is provided with a second watermarking payload, the watermarking payloads identified by respective identifiers. A plurality of composite segments of the media content asset are generated (260) in a suitable distribution container format, wherein each composite segment includes a segment portion of the main track and a corresponding portion of the at least one variant track, which may comprise a plurality of sample variant (SV) tracks. The main track and the at least one variant track may also be encrypted using respective encryption schemes identified via suitable KID parametric information independent of the watermarking payload identifiers. The composite segments may be uploaded to a network node (316) associated with a content delivery network (CDN) (336) that facilitates delivery of the watermarked segments to a client device (340, 1200) based on a unique watermarking signature provided via a customized manifest from a client controller (320) operating in conjunction with a watermarking session manager (318).
