We can create cers at runtime or we can create a utility and run it from command line.

Creating certificates at runtime is easier to use for everyone, especially for newcomers to python programming.

no worries @abhiTronix, just do your best!

@xamarindevelopervietnam Kindly refer to #52 to test the PR.

@xamarindevelopervietnam Thanks for this proposal. Kindly briefly explain the context/use of this feature and why it is necessary? along with your proposal. This will help the community to understand what this proposal is actually about.

I think some one in the middle can capture the frame that Server send to client without security mechanisms. I'm not python developer so I can't take over the task, just interested in this project.

@xamarindevelopervietnam I'm editing your proposal this time only but next time may be marked as INVALID and will be closed. Kindly use and fill proper template for your proposal next time. Following a template is compulsory to make it comfortable for others to easily understand the issue/context and so that they can make a contribution to this library easily. You can learn more about this in contribution guide. Goodluck.

thanks @abhiTronix

my suggestion: we give path to Yaml file and Server and Client can read configurations from Yaml file. Yaml file contain path to certificates.

from vidgear.

@xamarindevelopervietnam Good Idea! can be implemented. Do you have a source/example of such a YAML file or related information? Also, Are you suggesting to store encrypted keys/certificates to this file?

from vidgear.

I have an great example here: https://github.com/jeffbass/imagenode. I mean Yaml file contain path to certificates, Netgear can read Yaml file and get the path to keys/cetificates. Did you get my idea?

We can directly provide a certificate paths to NetGear API through a list/dict, So why using YAML file here? Advantages?

eg. We can setup NetGear with out change from the code, we only need to change Yaml file content and restart system without change any line of code.

Good point. So we need VidGear's own YAML file to store paths, that can be done. Thanks for this info. Do you have source/example of certificates/keys used for encryption in ZmQ?

from vidgear.

Ohk we have to generate these certificates at runtime. Thank you, I'll inform you when this feature will be added. I'll open a PR for that in upcoming days. Stay tuned.

@xamarindevelopervietnam I'm dropping the idea of creating YAML file to store paths in favor of using only a particular vidgear directory (for e.g. .vidgear) dedicated to saving auth certificates. It's more simplified and clean.
