A Dynamic Encryption Algorithm for Multicast/Broadcast Streaming Applications

In this paper we are proposing a technique for encrypting ‘high volume data streams’ that are sent over communication links throughout various networks. High volume data streams refer to applications such as audio-video conferencing, or more specifically Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and usage of the File Transfer Protocol or FTP. In most cases when data related to these applications is transferred from one peer to another, the main emphasis always tends to be to transfer these forms of data as fast as possible. As a result of this, the security issue is at times overlooked. This paper is putting forward a technique that might be an answer to the security problem of transferring data of this sort.
