An efficient wireless communication protocol for secured transmission of content-sensitive multimedia data

Abstract

Availability of content-sensitive multimedia data by wireless, anytime anywhere poses many challenges. These systems have to cope up with the security, connectivity, packet loss, signal-strength and channel issues of a wireless connection without compromising the privacy and trust issues of the sensitive data. In this paper a wireless communication protocol is presented which manages end-to-end transmission of content-sensitive multimedia data using a TCP/IP connection. The system proposed here introduces additional security mechanism to existing SSL using echo-tunneling, data segregation and separate communication scheme for privacy and security safeguards. XML minimization is introduced to improve the speed of delivery.
