Given that Flex is targeted at OEM’s,
however, it may be very desirable to offer some type of key-based
encryption/decryption so that OEM’s/ISV’s can protect their
intellectual property.

Hi Jeff,
You'll probably have to stick the FLV somewhere
protected on the server
(outwith the webapp context, or under WEB-INF, for
example) and write a
servlet to serve them, remembering to set the mime
type.
Of course, people could still use the servlet to
retrieve the FLV, but
its
less of a risk (security through obscurity). If
this is a problem, you
could
create some sort of session token, created by the
server and passed back
to
the client, which must then be passed to the
servlet to validate.
Cheers,
Ali

Subject: [flexcoders] Need help with protecting
FLVs
Nutshell: I am working with a handful of
FLVs for a tech demo that I am
creating and want to prevent them from being
downloaded. Does anyone
have a
good idea about how I can go about doing this?
Longer version: I have encoded FLVs sitting in a
web directory (because
contentPath requires a location string), but that
also means that a user
can
type in the name of the file and download the FLV
directly (I get the
download box when I type out the name of the
FLV). I tried putting the
files on a web server inside the firewall,
thinking that the Flex server
would somehow magically act as a proxy just for
the Flex application.
Worked fine as long as I was sitting inside the
firewall.... ;)
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,
Jeff
