Trust-Oriented Live Video Distribution Architecture

Due to the recent popularization of live video distributions, live video distributors such as YouTubers have attracted great attention. Some of them shoot videos of themselves using smartphones while moving and distribute the videos via the Internet. One of the major consideration points of live video distributions on the Internet is trust between distributors and viewers, since various public concerns such as threats or attacks to distributors occur in live video distribution situations with no trust. To solve these concerns and enable safety live video distributions on the Internet, we propose a novel live video distribution architecture. In trusty situations, the systems under our proposed architecture add more video captions to give various information to the viewers. Otherwise, the systems add more effects to hide information. We also define three policies for distributors to manage trust.
