Scrambling Key Rider AES128

KeyRider Scrambling Stream Protection

 

Protecting your system against an unauthorised viewing and dangerous server overflow.

The Key Server defines keys and assigns them to specific channels. The Key server continuously generates a new version of keys in defined intervals (for each key the interval can be defined independently) - the key rotation. The Media Streamer periodically downloads new versions of keys and enciphers the channels which it finds in the keyserver definitions using a strong AES-128 algorithm. There is a mediaplayer decypher in playlist KeyID for each video segment included. The player asks the KeyServer for the exact key using the http XML request which is protected by an even stronger AES-256 algorithm. The KeyServer either does or does not answer  with a key based on the client database. To communicate with the KeyServer each client has been assigned a unique cypher key. In case of compromising the unique end-user device, it is possible to block this device separately, without endangering the whole system. To allow operating with the archive (catch-up TV) the keys are stored on the KeyServer up to one year.
