Design of a Secured Multimedia Transmission Scheme over Heterogeneous Wireless Systems

Abstract

The evolution of wireless technologies has paved the way for the massively increasing availability of multimedia content in all forms from the Internet. Wireless networks consist of heterogeneous and overlapping coverages of multiple access technologies. The transmission of multimedia contents in the open wireless network system such as the Internet will always be vulnerable to security threats and possible adversary attacks. This paper deals with the analysis and design of a robust transmission security scheme capable of protecting the handshake of devices over heterogeneous wireless systems. It incorporates the features of both symmetric and asymmetric encryption schemes to ensure and guarantee a secured multimedia content transmission.
