Title: Encryption Security
Post by: dirty soap on December 08, 2009, 02:56:39 PM

I loves this app, thanks. The only thing I would improve upon would be a stronger security measure such as TLS on the broker end.

UDP is connection-less and it doesn't require the destination to acknowledge receipt of the data. So anyone on the same network as the iCamSource (anyone on the wireless network) or the destination network (possible a wifi hotspot) could receive the video stream. Barring the login hash string gets intercepted and reused.

Instead of constantly explaining what type of security is being provided, wouldn't it make much more sense to have the iCam broker use TLS to protect the communication stream? At least for user peace-of-mind...

We considered adding an additional layer of encryption to the application, but there are export issues with selling an application in the App Store with any level of encryption, unfortunately: http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/guidance.htm

This is something that we might look into working through if there was enough of a request from users for it.

Thanks for the feedback. :)
