Patent ID: 10188134

Abstract:
A server apparatus supporting authenticated encryption in a network, comprising a receiver configured to receive an unencrypted segment, a processor configured to selecting an encryption key, an initialization vector, and an additional authentication data (AAD), encrypt the segment, configuring the segment for transfer in a Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (DASH) media, assign a segment number to the encrypted segment, append an authentication tag to the encrypted segment, store the encrypted segment with the appended authentication tag, and update a Media Presentation Description (MPD) associated with the encrypted segment with the appended authentication tag, wherein the MPD comprises an @aadBase attribute with an AAD base value, wherein the AAD value is the sum of the segment number and the @aadBase attribute value, and a transmitter configured to transmit the encrypted segment with the appended authentication tag to a destination.
