CoSMo and Meetecho have been working together for some time as the #webrtc A-Team. So far the contributions described in different blog posts have mainly been on the server-side, with Double-Encryption, VP9 SVC, or more recently better bandwidth management support. This time, we are going to speak about several client software options to connect to Janus Instances that have been just been made available.

IETF’101 “Identity Assessment in #Webrtc” Hackathon
Security in Real-Time Comms.
Security is important for communication, and in the wake of XXXX (pick your favorite) revelations, the IETF RTCWEB working group and other standard committees alike had decided to up their game. With respect to webrtc, that’s for example when the decision was made to mandate the more secure DTLS-SRTP over SDES-SRTP. The entire Security architecture is documented within a corresponding documents and some dependencies:

Encryption is only really useful if it is end-to-end and if you are sure who you are talking to.
Extending Janus #webrtc bandwidth Management
Main Coders and Architects: Sergio Murillo, Lorenzo Miniero,
Facilitator, Motivator, and Secretary: Dr Alex Gouaillard.
Janus Bandwidth management has been incrementally updated to support the latest technologies available in a joint effort between CoSMo and Meetecho, a.k.a. The WebRTC A-Team. This article describes the original design of Janus and its VideoRoom plugin with respect to bandwidth management, and the incremental changes that were needed to bring it to automatic bandwidth estimation and adaptation on the sender side, and availability of simulcast for bandwidth management on the receiver side. A concrete example about how to leverage simulcast with the Janus VideoRoom Plugin is provided for illustration and testing purposes.
