RTMP protocol-based streaming media service user authentication method

Abstract

The invention discloses an RTMP protocol-based streaming media service user authentication method. Before a video server provides video service, legitimacy of a user identity is verified via an authentication server firstly; the access authority of the user is then verified, the video service is only provided for the user with enough access authority, and an illegal user request or a user request with not enough authority is denied; and finally, encrypted transmission is carried out on the video streaming data, and the user can be prevented from acquiring and spreading the video content in a downloading mode. Through the above means, streaming media resources can be ensured to be used by legal user groups only, an illegal video request is denied, the video resources can be ensured to be reasonably used, and the processing pressure of the video server is reduced at the same time. Reliability and confidentiality of streaming media video on demand and live broadcast authentication can be realized, safety of the network streaming media management can be improved significantly, and an extremely important practical significance is provided for development of the network streaming media safety technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of streaming media services, and in particular relates to a streaming media service based on the RTMP protocol, including user authentication methods for online live broadcast and online on-demand broadcast. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet technology, more and more services appear on the Internet, and online video service is one of them. The RTMP protocol is a transmission protocol specially designed for online video. It has very good real-time performance and has been widely used in online video-on-demand or live broadcast. Since the RTMP protocol itself does not have a link for security authentication of user identities, by default, the video server will accept connection requests from any party without distinction and provide video services. In the field of confidential or commercial media, only relying on the service of the standard RTMP protocol has...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Commercial video resources are only available for registered users to browse. If a registered user discloses the URL address information used to request video resources, then unregistered user groups can browse the corresponding video resources normally, which is not conducive to copyright protection.

[0004] 2. Due to the openness of the RTMP protocol, competitors can design customized video request clients, and can pretend to be legitimate users to request video resources in batches from the server and do further theft, backup, etc., resulting in commercially valuable video resources or important Data is leaked or disseminated, infringing the copyright of the streaming content

[0005] 3. Competitors send a large number of connection requests to the video server through program means. Due to the indiscriminate processing method of the RTMP protocol, the server cannot distinguish between valid and invalid connection requests, which will easily lead to excessive pressure on the server and downtime, which will eventually affect the availability of the entire system.
