The research of streaming media mutual digest authentication model based on RTSP protocol

Currently transferring streaming media over Internet has become a hot research topic. But much more attentions are paid on applications of RTSP rather than its security. With the rapid development of RTSP applications, the security issues will become a bottleneck in the future. In this paper, we detailed analyze the attacks against RTSP, such as malicious eavesdropping /modifying /terminating stream media session. Mutual digest authentication to resist the attack against RTSP is proposed.
