Encrypting an RTSP stream

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have been doing some research on encryption and have not found any kind of solution which will allow me to secure my RTSP stream that is being pulled directly off the camera.

From my understanding, RTSP sits on top of RTP or SRTP and that in order to have a secure RTSP stream you would simply need to put RTSP on top of SRTP.

So with that being said, is there a way from within Wowzer to pull in a RTSP stream from the camera, encrypt it, and re-stream that back out with an RTSP stream?

On a side note, I have gotten the MediaSecurity plug-in working with RTMPE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Matt,

Wowza doesn’t support encrypted RTSP streaming.

There are no methods in Wowza Server to completely secure RTSP/RTP streaming. You can refuse connections in onRTPSessionCreate but that is the only method of security. There is no encryption or DRM option at this time.

It is possible in some future release but as far as I know there is nothing in the works at present.
