Ask HN: How to store and stream private video content

by grep on 8/7/2010, 9:21 AM with 3 comments

Hi,

What is the best way to create an online video-on-demand service with this requirements:

- Private and secure

- Analytics

- CDN

- Flash

- Low price

What's the best solution(s) for this? I was thinking of using S3 + CloudFront but it doesn't provide any security against malicious users.

The easiest method for security via S3 would be the query string method, which lives for a defined period of time.

Can you explain why you say "it doesn't provide any security against malicious users"?
