Flashphone now supports RTMPE protocol. All your private data is encrypted.

Monday, September 1st, 2008

As promised we’ve updated flashphone service and now it supports encrypted connections to server. But if you want to use this benefit you need to have Flash player version 9,0,115 or higher, we recommend to upgrade if you have older one.

P.S. Flashphone continues to work with older versions of Flash player (starting from 9), but encryption isn’t available in this case. And don’t foget to clear your browser’s cache to let it download new version of flashphone ;)

Flashphone.ru RTMP connections support now is provided by Wowza Media Server

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Flashphone.ru RTMP protocol for streaming media for a long time was supported by Red5 server, but after some time we’ve found out that under a big load usage of opensource product wasn’t the best idea. We’ve worked together with Wowza Team to find the way of creating Zingaya plugin for their media server. I want to say big thanks to them, their feedback was always fast. Now all incoming RTMP connections are handled by Wowza and then data is passed to Zingaya plugin which handles all other stuff, like SIP/RTP/transcoding/routing etc. Another great benefit of Wowza Media Server is that after version 1.5.3 release it supports RTMPE/RTMPTE protocols and this allows us to make our service very secure. Let me explain this a little. RTMPE: This new protocol is an enhanced and encrypted version of RTMP. RTMPE is faster than SSL and does not require certificate management as SSL does.  (supported with Flash Player 9,0,115,0 minimum; Adobe AIR; Adobe Media Player). So now all data which is passed to our server from flash player can be encrypted, we are working on an update to enable RTMPE/RTMPTE for all users who got FP version starting from 9,0,115,0.
