Applet - Security Options

** This option is available only for Professional Edition

VideoVista Secure Content is based on the following points:

1. Prevent Internet delivery of your videos from unknown domains
2. Prevent bandwidth utilization by unknown domains that link your videos (feature available for Home and Standard Edition as well)

Secure video content is available in Professional Edition by "crypto" process during video encoding; protection key is registered inside security file made afterwards or made once for your site. Security file must be declared as applet parameter in your pages. 

If video that Applet is reading is secured, applet check security file and verify if current domain is present in the list otherwise it doesn't play; manual security file change are forbidden; only VideoVista application can make a new one.

Sample 1:

$code-base-list

Internet domains list that can host and view video.
Sample show three domains.

• www.vista.it
• www.videovista.it
• www.livevista.it

obviously security file must be present in all domains.

$document-base-list

Internet domain list that can link video of your site.
Sample one show no domains enabled to link your videos.

Sample  2:

$code-base-list

Internet domains list that can host and view video.
Sample show two domains.

• www.vista.it
• www.audiovista.it  

www.audiovista.it;expire:01-01-2007 means no more host and play for domains www.audiovista.it when today will be  January 1, 2007. 

$document-base-list

Internet domain list that can link video of your site.

• www.videovista.it

www.videovista.it;expire:01-03-2007 means no more link and play for domains www.videovista.it when today will be March 1, 2007. 

$security-expire-date 

01-06-2007: security file expire when today will be June 1, 2007; no operations can be done with videos generated against security file.

Note: a typical use of $security-expire-date maybe a videos rent to other domains with a end date contract; if contract will be renew a new security file must be generate with a new expire date for that domain.

Sample 3: 

$external-document-base-list

Sample 3 security file is similar to sample 2 albeit $doument-base-list  options are written in another file. external file cen be modifyded with a notepad; this option permit to quickly include in / include out domains name that have permission to link your videos. This options must be activated during the generate security file process phase.
