PROJECT OVERVIEW (6)
The Highly Secure Adaptive Mobile Multimedia Streaming Service
(HAMSTER) provides highly secure streaming, sharing, and management
of video clipstaken using a mobile device. This is accomplished by
implementing robust security algorithms in devices with limited
computing power and memory, withoutcompromising performance or user
satisfaction. The advent of MMS-enabled devices has ushered in a
multimedia revolution. We are seeing a shift from old servicesto
the new ones that take advantage of the MMS devices power and
flexibility. While SMS and voice services are still
popular,multimedia (specifically video) servicesare quickly growing
in importance and use. However, the management of these videos is
laden with problems; mobile devices suffer from limited memory,
presentvideo sharing services can use improvement, and security is
often an afterthought.
HAMSTER addresses these problems by providing users with video
albums that they can access anytime, anywhere through a mobile
device applicationand a web application. These albums, along with
almost every action within the service, are strongly protected by
the HAMSTER cryptosystem.
TARGET MARKET (7)
The project embodies the integration of Computer Security with
Mobile Computing; more specifically, HAMSTER demonstrates how to
implement robustsecurity algorithms in devices with limited
computing power and memory, without compromising performance or
user satisfaction. The project is a pioneeringendeavor in the
Philippines, and arguably in the whole world. W hile other
multimedia file management systems exist for mobilephones, most do
not handle videostreams. The services that do unfortunately lack
strong security mechanisms. HAMSTER is a service that runs
independent of the current mobile technologyinfrastructure, meaning
it can be deployed in 3G (and future) networks, as well as the
present one.
Additionally, the project holds great commercial potential.
Presently, there is an ongoing (albeit gradual) shift f rom desktop
applications to those entirelyhoused on the World Wide Web (WWW)
and mobile devices. HAMSTER arrives at an opportune time in
information technology. Through the service, users canexperience
virtually infinite video storage (depending on their subscr iption
plan); OFWs can share their experiences abroad with their families
ona regular basis;companies can use the videos on HAMSTER as an
advertising medium; young people can keep video diaries, or
vlogs(short for videoblogs); and many more.The possibilities are
endless for the service.
