I have a doubt about why an SRC for the CTR is needed at all and if a global counter for all streams would be equally secure in terms forming the IV or was due to implementation details to be able to have different context for each streams?
Because the key is used to encrypt all outgoing stream, we need a global counter for the IV to avoid counter reuse. If we use the frame counter only, then each stream will have their own counter and IV will collide
If the frame counter is global for the participant instead that per stream, i.e. increased whenever a new frame is encoded regarding the media stream, there would be no IV collision.
Correct. But I imagine this will be more complex to implement, having a single global counter across all media sources including audio and video
Prepared a PR to change it to a global counter, however I want to make sure I understand how the counter is maintained globally, If the frame N is encrypted in 3 different layers, they will have different counter values right? One potential benefit of having a global counter it will free up some bits in the header which we can use as a keyId (up to 16 keys) which is nice
Yes, each call to the frame encryptor which would require to atomically increment the counter. In the case of the simulcast, the same input image will produce N different encoded frames which would have their unique counter. Regarding the free bits, I was thinking in something like this: If x=0 then K is the key id ( 0-7) if x=1 then K is the length of the key that is inserted before the This would allow to avoid the extra byte for conferences with less than 9 participants. Another option would be to always use the KLEN/KEYID and reserve that bit for extensions in the future.
I like it :-)
