PJMEDIA_TRANSPORT_SRTP
Media transport adapter to add SRTP feature to existing transports.
This module implements SRTP as described by RFC 3711, using RFC 4568 as key exchange method. It implements Media Transport to integrate with the rest of PJMEDIA framework.
As we know, media transport is separated from the stream object (which does the encoding/decoding of PCM frames, (de)packetization of RTP/RTCP packets, and de-jitter buffering). The connection between stream and media transport is established when the stream is created (we need to specify media transport during stream creation), and the interconnection can be depicted from the diagram below:
I think the diagram above is self-explanatory.
SRTP functionality is implemented as some kind of “adapter”, which is plugged between the stream and the actual media transport that does sending/receiving RTP/RTCP packets. When SRTP is used, the interconnection between stream and transport is like the diagram below:
So to stream, the SRTP transport behaves as if it is a media transport (because it is a media transport), and to the media transport it behaves as if it is a stream. The SRTP object then forwards RTP packets back and forth between stream and the actual transport, encrypting/decrypting the RTP/RTCP packets as necessary.
The neat thing about this design is the SRTP “adapter” then can be used to encrypt any kind of media transports. We currently have UDP and ICE media transports that can benefit SRTP, and we could add SRTP to any media transports that will be added in the future.

Functions
-
pj_status_t
pjmedia_srtp_init_lib
(pjmedia_endpt *endpt)¶ Initialize SRTP library. This function should be called before any SRTP functions, however calling pjmedia_transport_srtp_create() will also invoke this function. This function will also register SRTP library deinitialization to pj_atexit(), so the deinitialization of SRTP library will be performed automatically by PJLIB destructor.
- Parameters
endpt – The media endpoint instance.
- Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.
-
void
pjmedia_srtp_setting_default
(pjmedia_srtp_setting *opt)¶ Initialize SRTP setting with its default values.
- Parameters
opt – SRTP setting to be initialized.
-
pj_status_t
pjmedia_transport_srtp_create
(pjmedia_endpt *endpt, pjmedia_transport *tp, const pjmedia_srtp_setting *opt, pjmedia_transport **p_tp)¶ Create an SRTP media transport.
- Parameters
endpt – The media endpoint instance.
tp – The actual media transport to send and receive RTP/RTCP packets. This media transport will be kept as member transport of this SRTP instance.
opt – Optional settings. If NULL is given, default settings will be used.
p_tp – Pointer to receive the transport SRTP instance.
- Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.
-
pj_status_t
pjmedia_transport_srtp_start
(pjmedia_transport *srtp, const pjmedia_srtp_crypto *tx, const pjmedia_srtp_crypto *rx)¶ Manually start SRTP session with the given parameters. Application only needs to call this function when the SRTP transport is used without SDP offer/answer. When SDP offer/answer framework is used, the SRTP transport will be started/stopped by pjmedia_transport_media_start() and pjmedia_transport_media_stop() respectively.
Please note that even if an RTP stream is only one direction, application will still need to provide both crypto suites, because it is needed by RTCP.
If application specifies the crypto keys, the keys for transmit and receive direction MUST be different.
- Parameters
srtp – The SRTP transport.
tx – Crypto suite setting for transmit direction.
rx – Crypto suite setting for receive direction.
- Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.
-
pj_status_t
pjmedia_transport_srtp_stop
(pjmedia_transport *srtp)¶ Stop SRTP session.
- Parameters
srtp – The SRTP media transport.
- Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.
-
pj_status_t
pjmedia_transport_srtp_decrypt_pkt
(pjmedia_transport *tp, pj_bool_t is_rtp, void *pkt, int *pkt_len)¶ This is a utility function to decrypt SRTP packet using SRTP transport. This function is not part of SRTP transport’s API, but it can be used to decrypt SRTP packets from non-network (for example, from a saved file) without having to use the transport framework. See pcaputil.c in the samples collection on how to use this function.
- Parameters
tp – The SRTP transport.
is_rtp – Set to non-zero if the packet is SRTP, otherwise set to zero if the packet is SRTCP.
pkt – On input, it contains SRTP or SRTCP packet. On output, it contains the decrypted RTP/RTCP packet.
pkt_len – On input, specify the length of the buffer. On output, it will be filled with the actual length of decrypted packet.
- Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.
-
pjmedia_transport *
pjmedia_transport_srtp_get_member
(pjmedia_transport *srtp)¶ Query member transport of SRTP.
- Parameters
srtp – The SRTP media transport.
- Returns
member media transport.
-
struct
pjmedia_srtp_crypto
¶ - #include <transport_srtp.h>
This structure describes an individual crypto setting.
-
struct
pjmedia_srtp_setting
¶ - #include <transport_srtp.h>
Settings to be given when creating SRTP transport. Application should call pjmedia_srtp_setting_default() to initialize this structure with its default values.
-
struct
pjmedia_srtp_info
¶ - #include <transport_srtp.h>
This structure specifies SRTP transport specific info. This will fit into buffer field of pjmedia_transport_specific_info.
