A protection scheme based on online encryption for streaming media

In the existing applications of streaming media, the formats of streaming media contents are multiple. How to effectively protect various-format streaming media contents is a new challenge. A new protection scheme based on online encryption for streaming media is proposed in this paper. It achieves content protection for various-format streaming media by encrypting the data packets. The proposed protection scheme is independent of the streaming media server and format, also can set various security levels according to the streaming media content to achieve personal protection service. Experiments show that the scheme is suitable for copyright protection of various-format streaming media.
