customize SRT settings

[jesus m]

There are some SRT settings that I would like to customize such as encryption, is this possible?

Hi @jesus m
I hope you are fine.
Could you please provide more information about the SRT settings you wish to modify?

I would like to encrypt the SRT communication with AES, if I am not mistaken, the passphrase parameter must be configured in the reception, which is used for the encryption key.

thanks 🙂

We have a token mechanism to secure the streams, but a token structure for SRT has not yet been implemented. It will be implemented in SRT Phase 2. Stream security documentation is available at https://resources.antmedia.io/docs/stream-security.

You can use AES encryption for HLS playback. Check out the following link:

I hope it helps.

Thank you...
As a suggestion, just as a comment, I suppose that in phase 2, to secure, they could implement the two operations: access control, with a one time token, and confidentiality with communication encryption (typically RTMPS or SRT with AES encryption).. thanks for everything. Cheers

@jesus m
Thank you for your suggestions.
I've given the incorrect information due to misunderstanding, so I want to clarify what I mentioned earlier in my previous comment. The token mechanism is integrated with the SRT, as I double-checked with the developer. I have also updated the stream security docs that explains how to utilize a token with SRT publishing.
