RTMPTE

Flash Media Server 3 introduces RTMPTE, which enables you to encrypt RTMPT. The default port is 80. RTMPTE secures your data even when you transfer data from your Flash Media Server to third-party servers through tunneling.

For this release of Flash Lite, netConnection.connect() is extended to support a new protocol, RTMP Tunneling Encrypt (RTMPTE). It means that encrypted RTMP data is encapsulated as HTTP data.

To encrypt a tunneled data stream, you use the following syntax:

nc.connect("rtmpte://localhost/vod/");

If you use the source parameter of the FLVPlayback component, the path is:

rtmpte://localhost/vod/flvFileName

In the RTMPTE protocol, you instruct Flash Media Server to add real-time encryption to the tunneling data stream. RTMPTE encrypts the data while it is transported. You do not require any key to decrypt the data.
