How can I encrypt my iPhone streams?

Securing your iPhone streams is easy with Encoding.com's stream encrytion option. We encrypt your TS segements using AES-128 with no need for an additional processing step. The encryption passes on delivery, as opposed to requiring additional processing time. You'll need a few things to get started, so let's lay out all the details:

1)  Create 32 character hexadecimal string. (Noted as 128 bit key below.)

     Sample encryption key: 243F6A8885A308D313198A2E03707344. Don't confuse this with API keys, as the encryption key can only contain characters A - F & 0- 9.

     Sample of encryption key that will fail immediately: COq8MA6wT3aHxEIvGy4U3VNBa3BMch29

OR

     Create a file that contains the hex string. If you choose a file, this will overrride the hex key specified in the request.

3) Request an HLS encode with the following additions:

<format>
    <!-- Format fields -->
        <output>[iphone_stream|ipad_stream]</output>
        ...
        <encryption>[yes|no]</encryption>
        <encryption_key>[128bit-key]</encryption_key>
        <encryption_key_file>[SourceURL]</encryption_key_file> <----Use a key_file or a string value. Don't use both, as the file will override the key. 
        ...
    </format>
