Concept of Security
Security can be generally viewed as a solution to protection against the risk of outside computer or network hacking. Security is important in that it is required to safely protect computer systems against hacker attacks.
Real time Communication and Security
The security for a real time communication is utmost important. The contents of reliable conference are well protected from unauthorized people and voice packets in telecommunication based upon open networks (internet).
Security of AG Meet
(I) Wiretapping for Conferences
One can see numerous wiretapping issues in movies or TV programs. Generally, few people worried about wiretapping prevention because they do not think what they talk on the phones are vulnerable to wiretapping. However, the concept of security should be considered and the prevention measures of wiretapping are necessary. AG Meet can ensure much safer security than telephone communications based upon traditional phone networks -PSTN in terms of the following characteristics:
| |
a)
First Authentication based upon users’ ID and passwords
Basically, illegal participation of user in conferences can be eliminated. Only users who have IDs and passwords given by the administrators can access to conferences.
b) Adoption of Independent Communication Protocols
AG Meet offers smaller size of data than other common communication protocols and ensures fast speed because we developed and adopted our own independent communication protocols; removal of unnecessary protocols and minimization of the steps to the communication setup, so it is impossible for illegal wiretappers to wiretap the video telecommunication and the decode protocols.
c) Independence of Packet Structures
AG Meet has its own independent packet structures, It is impossible for outsiders to intercept data packets on the networks and if they do, decoding is not possible. Information about the packet structures and variable operation of voice / video frames is not available. |
(II) Stability of vulnerable systems to outside attacks
| |
a) Universal Protection System
AG Meet can allow video conference systems to be relatively much less affected by hackers than other products. In real time communications, AG Meet does not require static data to be accumulated and managed for its operation. There is no back up and restoration. All data are set to automatically terminate after video conferences end. Moreover, AG Meet is less vulnerable to attacks from hackers because the video conference systems are connected by individual IP addresses for each company, instead of general internet URL.

(III) Others
| |
a) AG Meet supports three types of communication in order to flexibly respond to various environments of networks inside companies - a simple server setups and convenient operation:
| |
i) C/S UDP Communication Support
Real time communication is based upon UDP via servers for communication among clients.
ii) C/S TCP Communication Support
Real time communication is based upon TCP via servers for communication between clients.
iii) Peer to Peer UDP Communication Support
Real time communication is directly connected based upon UDP between clients without servers.
NAT environment support: Many solutions fail to accommodate both internal and external users in companies where private IP services are used. AG Meet enables both internal and external users to have access to video conferences because the environment where private IP address of internal users and public IP address of external users are connected at the same conference room. |
b) Client Recording Support
AG Meet supports client recording during video conferencing and the recorded conference is located in each user’s computers. The files are not created on the servers. |
