Abstract

This paper presents a novel architecture for the secure delivery of encrypted H.264 SVC bitstreams. It relies on a block cipher and stream cipher used in a novel way that would allow an intermediary transcoder to truncate the bitstream to the appropriate bit-rate without decrypting the data. The system, called SVC-sec, is compared to other architectures presented in the literature and it is shown that SVC-sec offers many benefits, particularly when used with FGS streams
