Techniques for secure video frame management
The present disclosure can provide devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for secure frame management. The techniques disclosed herein provide detection of triggering items in one or more frames of streaming video. The camera transmits one or more frames of the video over a network to a computing device. The computing device can begin a streaming session with a server and stream the one or more frames of video and accompanying metadata to the server. The frames, metadata, and associated keys can all be encrypted prior to streaming to the server. For each subsequent segment of video frames that includes the triggering item, the server can append the frames of that segment to the video clip in an encrypted container.
1 . A method of storing a video frame, the method comprising:
receiving, by a storage device, one or more first encrypted frames of a video stream associated with a triggering item from a computing device, wherein the triggering item is within the video stream;
storing, by the storage device, the one or more first encrypted frames in a container;
receiving, by the storage device, one or more subsequent encrypted frames of the video stream associated with the triggering item from the computing device; and
appending, by the storage device, the one or more subsequent encrypted frames after the one or more first encrypted frames within the container to enable the one or more first encrypted frames and the one or more subsequent encrypted frames to be displayed as a single video file.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first encrypted frames are received in a first wireless transfer, and wherein the one or more subsequent encrypted frames are received in a second wireless transfer.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the computing device, first encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more first encrypted frames;
storing, by the storage device, the first encrypted metadata with the one or more first encrypted frames within the container;
receiving, from the computing device, subsequent encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more subsequent encrypted frames; and
storing, by the storage device, the subsequent encrypted metadata with the one or more subsequent encrypted frames within the container.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first encrypted metadata includes a first start position and a first end position for the one or more first encrypted frames, and wherein the subsequent encrypted metadata includes a second start position and a second end position for the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first encrypted metadata indicates a first duration of the one or more first encrypted frames, and wherein the subsequent encrypted metadata indicates a second duration of the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first encrypted frames are received in a first fragmented MPEG-4 (fmp4) media segment, and wherein the one or more subsequent encrypted frames are received in a second fmp4 media segment.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a connection between the computing device and the storage device is established based at least in part on a presence of the triggering item within the video stream, and wherein the connection is terminated based at least in part on an absence of the triggering item within the video stream.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the storage device lacks access to one or more keys for decrypting the one or more first encrypted frames and the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
9 . A storage device, comprising:
one or more memories to store instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to execute the instructions to:
receive, from a computing device, one or more first encrypted frames of a video stream associated with a triggering item, wherein the triggering item is within the video stream;
store the one or more first encrypted frames in a container;
receive, from the computing device, one or more subsequent encrypted frames of the video stream associated with the triggering item; and
append the one or more subsequent encrypted frames after the one or more first encrypted frames within the container to enable the one or more first encrypted frames and the one or more subsequent encrypted frames to be displayed as a single video file.
10 . The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more first encrypted frames are received in a first wireless transfer, and wherein the one or more encrypted subsequent frames are received in a second wireless transfer.
11 . The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors, via execution of the instructions, are further configured to:
receive, from the computing device, first encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more first encrypted frames;
store the first encrypted metadata with the one or more first encrypted frames within the container;
receive, from the computing device, subsequent encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more subsequent encrypted frames; and
store the subsequent encrypted metadata with the one or more subsequent encrypted frames within the container.
12 . The storage device of claim 11 , wherein the first encrypted metadata includes a first start position and a first end position for the one or more first encrypted frames, and wherein the subsequent encrypted metadata includes a second start position and a second end position for the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
13 . The storage device of claim 11 , wherein the first encrypted metadata indicates a first duration of the one or more first encrypted frames, and wherein the subsequent encrypted metadata indicates a second duration of the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
14 . The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the storage device lacks access to one or more keys for decrypting the one or more first encrypted frames and the one or more subsequent encrypted frames.
15 . The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the storage device includes a cloud storage system.
16 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a storage device, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving one or more first encrypted frames of a video stream associated with a triggering item from a computing device, wherein the triggering item is within the video stream;
storing, by the storage device, the one or more first encrypted frames in a container;
receiving one or more subsequent encrypted frames of the video stream associated with the triggering item from the computing device; and
appending the one or more subsequent encrypted frames after the one or more first encrypted frames within the container to enable the one or more first encrypted frames and the one or more subsequent encrypted frames to be displayed as a single video file.
17 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more first encrypted frames are received in a first wireless transfer, and wherein the one or more subsequent encrypted frames are received in a second wireless transfer.
18 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, from the computing device, first encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more first encrypted frames from the computing device;
storing the first encrypted metadata with the one or more first encrypted frames within the container;
receiving, from the computing device, subsequent encrypted metadata that accompanies the one or more subsequent encrypted frames; and
storing, by the storage device, the subsequent encrypted metadata with the one or more subsequent encrypted frames within the container.
19 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein a connection between the computing device and the storage device is established based at least in part on a presence of the triggering item within the video stream, and wherein the connection is terminated based at least in part on an absence of the triggering item within the video stream.
20 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one of more first encrypted frames of the video stream received by the storage device are accompanied by metadata.
