Implementing Media Encryption for Secured Conferencing

Connection to the Entry Queue

An undefined participant connecting to an Entry Queue inherits the encryption characteristics of the Entry Queue as defined in the Entry Queue’s profile.

Participants can be moved from the Entry Queue and the destination conference if both conferencing entities have the same Profile settings, i.e. from SVC Only Entry Queue to SVC Only conference and from mixed CP and SVC Entry Queue to a mixed CP and SVC conference, etc.

The following table summarizes the connection possibilities for a participant that is to be moved from an Entry Queue to a destination conference for each of the conference Profile and Entry Queue encryption options.

Connection of Undefined Participants to the Entry Queue Based on Encryption Settings

Entry Queue Encryption	Undefined Participant Connection to the Entry Queue
	*Flag = No	*Flag = YES
Setting
No Encryption	Connected, non-encrypted	Connected, non-encrypted

(Encryption is not declared by the Collaboration Server, therefore endpoint does not use encryption)

(Encryption is not declared by the Collaboration Server, therefore endpoint does not use encryption)

Encrypt All	Connected only if encrypted.	Connected only if encrypted.
	Non-encrypted endpoints are	Non-encrypted endpoints are
	disconnected	disconnected
Encrypt When Possible	Connected encrypted - Endpoints with	Connected only if encrypted.
	encryption capabilities.	Non-encrypted endpoints are
	Connected non-encrypted - endpoints	disconnected.
	without encryption capabilities

*Flag = FORCE_ENCRYPTION_FOR_UNDEFINED_PARTICIPANT_IN_WHEN_AVAILABLE_MODE

Moving from the Entry Queue to Conferences or Between Conferences

Participants can be moved from the Entry Queue and the destination conference if both conferencing entities have the same Profile settings, i.e. from SVC Only Entry Queue to SVC Only conference and from mixed CP and SVC Entry Queue to a mixed CP and SVC conference, etc.

When moving participants from the Entry Queue to the destination conference, or when the Collaboration Server user moves AVC participants from one conference to another (SVC participants cannot be moved between conferences), the connection rules are similar and they are summarized in the table below:

Moving participants from entry queue to conference / between conferences depending on encryption settings

Destination			Current Participant Encryption Status
Conference		Encrypted		Non-Encrypted
Encryption Setting
	*Flag = NO		*Flag = YES	*Flag = NO	*Flag = YES
No Encryption	Move succeeds, connected encrypted			Move succeeds, connected
				non-encrypted
