Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the potential of adaptive encryption of streaming video data over 3G networks. The results obtained promote the design of a network component (the so called “intelligent network”) that facilitates the secure real-time transmission of video data. Case studies involving the sensitive area of telemedicine can be implemented by means of this component. The transport layer protocol SCTP is the basis for technical realization, which has interesting features and extensions. The combination of these features and the management of the intelligent network allows the implementation of sensitive applications.
