Hi.

I’m using Wowza 2.

I have a live stream: [http://103.9.77.15:1935/live/kenh1/playlist.m3u8](http://103.9.77.15:1935/live/kenh1/playlist.m3u8)

Now, I want secure for stream url with parameters, like as:

[http://103.9.77.15:1935/live/kenh1/playlist.m3u8?token=xxxxxx&time=xxxx](http://103.9.77.15:1935/live/kenh1/playlist.m3u8?token=xxxxxx&time=xxxx)

**token** value will was encrypt by client’s IP address and **time** param above.

**time** will always \<= current time + 2hours, or url above will expire in a period of time.

Can i do it ? And how ?

Thanks for every answers.

Sorry for my English.

Hi,

You can use the [SecureToken](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-protect-streaming-using-securetoken-in-wowza-streaming-engine) feature to protect your HLS streams. However, you would need to upgrade to version 4. If you prefer to stay in version 2, then you can use an [AddOn module to protect your RTMP streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-protect-rtmp-streaming-using-securetoken-modulesecuretoken%28ModuleSecureToken%29). For earlier versions, this would only work for RTMP streams.

I would strongly suggest that you look into upgrading to version 4. There are many features, including security modules, that have been introduced in the latest version.
