Ask HN: How to store and stream private video content
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"?
