The kind folks at EDN have asked Cardinal Peak to author an occasional blog about streaming video. The first post went live this morning and discusses streaming video securely:
Until recently, the accepted wisdom in the industry was that end users didn’t care about encrypting this type of video, as long as it was a little difficult for a naïve user to access it without permission. With a near-constant stream of news regarding more and more sophisticated network attacks, however, this logic is feeling strained.
I’ve posted — several times over the years about this topic — hopefully someday we’ll start to take encryption of video seriously!
