<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module provides the ability to <strong>encrypt and decrypt</strong>
data on the input and output filter stacks.</p>
<p>Most specifically, it can be used to implement <strong>on-the-fly HLS
encryption</strong> as described by
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-19.txt">
draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-19</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively, it can be used to deliver secure data over insecure CDN
to suitable clients.</p>
<p>The crypto filter may be added to either the input or the
output filter stacks, as appropriate, using the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code>,
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code>,
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code> or
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_filter.html#addoutputfilterbytype">AddOutputFilterByType</a></code> directives.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="format" id="format">Stream Format</a></h2>
<p>The encrypted stream consists of an optional IV block, followed by encrypted
blocks using the chosen cipher. The final block is padded before being written. The
size of the blocks is governed by the choice of cipher in use.</p>
<p>When the IV is specified with the <code class="directive"><a href="#cryptoiv">CryptoIV</a></code>
directive, that IV is used, and is not written to or read from the stream.</p>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="config" id="config">Keys and IVs</a></h2>
<p>
The
<code class="directive"><a href="#cryptokey">CryptoKey</a></code>
and
<code class="directive"><a href="#cryptoiv">CryptoIV</a></code>
directives expect binary
values which can be specified in a number of ways as below. The most significant bits of the relevant values
are used, and if the values are too short, they are padded on the left
with zero bits.
</p>
<dl>
<dt>file:</dt><dd>Read the value directly from the given file.</dd>
<dt>hex:</dt><dd>Parse the expression as a hex value, which may contain colon separators.</dd>
<dt>decimal:</dt><dd>Parse the expression as a decimal value.</dd>
<dt>base64:</dt><dd>Parse the expression as a base64 value.</dd>
<dt>none</dt><dd>No value is specified.</dd>
</dl>
<p>If the IV is unspecified a random IV will be generated during
encryption and written
as the first block. During decryption, the first block will be
interpreted as the IV.
</p>
<p>With the exception of file:, the <code class="directive"><a href="#cryptokey">CryptoKey</a></code>
and <code class="directive"><a href="#cryptoiv">CryptoIV</a></code> directives allow
<a href="../expr.html">expression syntax</a> to provide flexibility when setting the values.
This allows both keys and IVs to be salted with values available to the webserver, such
as REMOTE_USER, or the URL.
</p>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="handler" id="handler">Crypto Key Handler</a></h2>
<p>For convenience, the <strong>crypto-key</strong> handler can be used to serve the key
to suitably authorized clients, removing the need to store the key within the directory
space of the webserver. This also allows the same <a href="../expr.html">expression
syntax</a> to be used to derive the key for both the clients and the encrypted content.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Crypto Key Handler with a File</h3><p><code>
&lt;Location /key&gt;<br />
<span class="indent">

CryptoKey file:/path/to/file.key<br />

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="hls" id="hls">HTTP Live Streaming</a></h2>
<p>The HLS protocol supports encrypted streams using the AES-128 cipher and a
corresponding key. Access is granted to the stream by sharing the key with
the HLS client, typically over a secured connection.</p>
<p>The IV used for encrypting each media segment is specified within
HLS in one of two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Explicitly specified within an IV attribute inside the EXT-X-KEY
tag as a <strong>hexadecimal</strong> value.
</li>
<li>
Implicitly specified by interpreting the <strong>decimal</strong>
value of the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag.
</li>
</ul>
<p>The media sequence value is usually embedded within the media
segment filenames, and can be matched by using named regular
expressions as per the example below.
</p>
<div class="example"><h3>HLS Example - IV from media sequence</h3><p><code>
