Enhancing Security in Audio and Video Conferencing Systems: A Multicast Solution Overview

The current landscape of audio and video conferencing systems is plagued by a variety of incompatible protocols and significant security flaws, such as lack of authentication and secure data transfer. Our goal is to identify a suitable solution that maintains usability while introducing essential security features. By utilizing packet reflector technology and enhancing existing tools like VIC and RAT, we propose adding a security module for each client without modifying the original systems. Key improvements include robust authentication, key distribution, and user authorization via X.509 digital certificates.

  1. Secure Audio and Video Conferencing system Jaroslav Dočkal, Tomáš Bouček, Petr Dušek, Tomáš Koníř SPI 2003

  2. Current status • Many audio/video conferencing systems • Many incompatibile protocols (some are proprietary) • Not secured: • No authentication • No authorization • No secured data over transfer

  3. Our Goal • Find suitable solution based on multicast or similar • Improve existing solution (add the security parts) • Security funcions MUST NOT affect the usability • Our solution must be able to run on the most commonly used platforms.

  4. Software we used as basement • Audio and video conferencing tools, based on packet reflector technology • Programs, named VIC (video conferencing tool) and RAT (robust audio tool) Packet Reflector Client C Client A Client B

  5. Security model • Add one security module to each client • Not modify existing client • Rewrite the packet reflector Packet Reflector Module C Module A Module B Client A Client A Client A

  6. Server improvements • Use authentication • Key generation and distribution • User authorization

  7. What to do now? • Login / password –> X.509 digital certificates • Attribute certificates • User – friendly interface

  8. Thank you for patience • Questions ?
