Set AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT
Set AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT
You can configure your Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) streams to use 128 bits, 192 bits, or 256 bits AES
encryption using the Admin panel. You can also assign the SRT stream an alphanumeric passphrase if
required. The encryption and passphrase settings on the SRT encoder sending the stream must match the
settings on the SRT decoder receiving the stream.
The encryption key length is negotiated between the source and destination devices. The key length of the
sender is used to determine the key length that is eventually used to secure the connection, and the
receiver obtains the key length from the sender. As long as the passphrases match, the key length will be
negotiated.
