Amazon S3 Protecting Data Using Server-Side Encryption

  • dot4all 10 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Martin,

    knew that amazon has released a new security feature for videos?

    Do you think that you can implement this in the plugin?

    Thank you
    David

    Hello David,

    sorry about the delay here, I initially planned to answer this later on that same week, but then the message was lost in pile of new messages.

    I’m not sure if this would be more secure than the standard download protection which we support for Amazon S3 (with the free FV WordPress Flowplayer plugin) and now also for CloudFront (with FV Player Pro extension).

    This might work better if you build a closed-source application where you embed the encryption key and then only allow that application to play videos of your Amazon account. Is there any specific use case that you have in mind?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    thank you for your response.

    We work on LMS platform and we need that user cannot download video. Now we use encrypted url but I don’t know if there is a more secure system to protect video.

    What do you think?
    Thanks
    David

    Hello David,

    the system with providing a time limited URL (we support it for both Amazon S3 and CloudFront) is as secure as it gets in HTML5. Both Vimeo and YouTube use the same approach to protect the videos.

    HTML5 doesn’t really support content encryption, but you can get it in HLS streams which are supported only on iDevices. However then you also need a RTMP stream (which plays in Flash) for rest of the users, which is at least hard to download as it’s a proprietary protocol.

    We could also look for a chromeless Flash player for HLS format and integrate it in our plugin, but it would be quite a bit of work.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    thank you for your response.

    But a chromeless Flash player for HLS will be compatible with all devices and not only iDevices?

    Martin 11 years ago

    Hello David,

    iDevices can play HLS in HTML5 as they have a built-in HLS capability. So this extra engine would be used for PC users only.

    Thanks,
    Martin
