[FFmpeg-user] How to have a secure UDP BroadCast

[Alessandro Molon]

I would go for SRT as well.

It doesn't have a proper username/password method, but the passphrase mechanism implement should suffice.
In addition to this it can also compensate a lot of network issues between transmitter and receiver that couldn't be compensated by UDP, and doesn't add a lot of latency like other authenticated protocols like RTMP or HLS.

The closest there is to your requirements, ie:

(a). A container format with support for timestamps such as mpegts

(b). Capabilities similar to UDP

Would be Haivision's SRT, which FFmpeg supports if enabled on build time via --enable-libsrt.

SRT allows for optional encryption, whose details can be viewed via ffmpeg -h protocol=srt.

Note that depending on your application requirements, you'll need to ensure that your receiver can handle SRT input, OR use FFmpeg to handle SRT TX and Rx in the network segment where such content security is desired.

Hope that helps.
