  1. A Proof of Concept Prototype Bora Güngören Portakal Teknoloji bora@portakalteknoloji.com Secure Video StreamingProxy Server

  2. The Case • Security by surveillance is evolving from closed circuit TV (CCTV) to IP based large scale camera networks. • İstanbul 3.500 vehicle, 570 fixed cameras operational. • Ankara 1.500 cameras operational. • London 500.000 cameras operational. • Personal use of camera technology is enhancing. • Nanny-cams, private security networks, time-motion studies.

  3. The Disaster? • Camera networks hacked. • Fake visuals inserted. • Used for terrorist propaganda. • Camera networks hijacked. • Used as boarding platform to access other critical infrastucture. • Such as • Police, Firefighting, Ambulance • Road management • Taxes

  4. False Sense of Protection • Reliance on closed circuit operation. But is it really closed circuit? • IP cameras really operate on public internet. • Rarely using untested SSL implementations. • Simple password type authentication. • No protection against DoS attacks. • Cameras accessed by public infrastructure. • 411 of 570 İstanbul MOBESE cams viewed real time by public. • Soon video clips for traffic fines will be displayed.

  5. Extras? • Increasing size of systems and increasing interest on camera networks. • Personal concerns on what is being recorded and need to see it real-time. • Use of videos as evidence means evidence needs to be publicly accessible. • Use of wireless communications. • Almost all means scalability to engineers.

  6. Solution Reverse Proxy • Solution employs a set of common architectural pattern. • Reverse Proxy for Security • Reverse Proxy for Caching Source Client Security Scalability

  7. Solution • Security involves • Advanced authentication of sources (ie cameras) • Advanced authentication of clients (ie viewing software) • Better transport level security • Scalability involves • In-memory distributed caching of video content (similar to youtube) • Better video streaming technology, including those geared towards mobile devices

  8. This Project • Project will not commercialize anything. It is more like an engineering exercise. But it should produce a working example. • A proof of concept prototype using a few (2-5) real camera feeds and a number of (20-100) automated camera feeds (divx playback?) will be developed. • Project team can focus on either security or scalability. • Team should plan for how to test and document the system as well.

  9. This Project • Strictly open source. • All infrastructure should be based on open source components. • All new code should be hosted on SF or Google Code
