Description Denis Doria 2012-07-25 12:33:18 UTC

As described in the faq of pidgin-sipe (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sipe/index.php?title=FAQ) the lack of support of SRTP in farstream cause a problem to use audio/video.

I'm opening this ticket, because there is very few information about the status and progress of this important feature.

There is now a SRTP plugin in gst-plugins-bad, just need to integrate it and add the API now

Comment 2 david.alston 2013-06-10 18:49:08 UTC

I'm interested in using SRTP/ZRTP using the kde/gnome communications tools named Telepathy.  They tell me that SRTP/ZRTP would need to be supported by the Farstream libraries that they use.

I was glad to see that there is an SRTP plugin in gst-plugins-bad (Comment#1).  I'm sure that there are others who would be interested in making their chats more secure as well.

This branch is just waiting the GStreamer 1.4 release:

Comment 4 Denis Doria 2014-05-06 11:04:51 UTC

Is it possible to test this with the version 1.3? or 1.4 is the minimum?
Should we expect this code in the next version of farstream? The plan is to release the next version close to the release of GStreamer 1.4?

Comment 5 Olivier Crête 2014-05-06 16:05:46 UTC

You need git master of gst-plugins-bad as of last night... So it will require 1.3.2 or later. But I'll probably hold off until 1.4 is release to merge and release this.

Comment 6 David Woodhouse 2014-08-17 13:20:39 UTC

GStreamer 1.4 was releaed in July... :)

FWIW when I send DTMF on an encrypted connection, the payload of the DTMF packets isn't encrypted? Should it be? Does that explain why the keypresses don't seem to get through? Is that a bug in the farstream part of the stack or elsewhere?

Comment 7 Nicolas Dufresne 2014-09-19 20:06:23 UTC

Was merged yesterday, will be in next release.

Comment 8 Nicolas Dufresne 2014-09-19 20:07:18 UTC

Oh, and works mostly with 1.2 too, though 1.4 is recommended. I've tested against a Chrome Browser WebRTC stack.
