Secure multimedia activity with redundant schemes

The authors have investigated secure multimedia information transfers and maintained a redundant scheme in order to validate the information being exchanged. Also the migration from the MPEG2 standard to the MPEG4 (MPEG: Motion Picture Expert Group) plays an important role in the bandwidth utilization and security. These issues are taken into consideration during the investigations, in addition to the TCP/IP issues for multimedia transfers. In-building wireless links provide a cost effective means of linking systems, especially if the client systems have to be relocated often. The authors have addressed this issue and conducted investigations in terms of the reliability and throughput between systems with wireless links for multimedia file transfers. In this article, the authors present the multimedia architecture they have developed and the associated results of the information transfers in terms of the reliability and the throughput.
