Secure Media (TLS/SSL)

Defining the performance limitations of Next Generation Networks and Equipment requires the ability to test and measure on a Per Client ‘Per flow’ basis. Emulate stateful secure end points with multiple unique individual applications such as voice, video and data. Emulate and measure performance of real world user scenarios with meaningful end point activity over secure connections using the protocols TLS/SSL.

diversifEye’s emulated end points have the same attributes as real world end points, in a secure communication. The diversifEye client end point may negotiate the TLS/SSL cipher suites, with other emulated end points or with real world devices. These include ciphers, key exchange and authentication.

diversifEye supports the use of X509 digital certificates. The certificates are used by the end points to verify that the entity presenting the certificate is who they claim to be. diversifEye is capable of generating and signing certificates/keys for test entities or end points.

Key benefits of diversifEye’s TLS/SSL enabled flows in testing:

•  Large scalability of RTP/SRTP sessions, while measuring in real time per each and every end point.
• Measure voice quality metrics (MOS) and other layer 7 voice statistics in real time per each individual end point.
• Measuring video quality metrics (VQM) and other layer 7 video statistics in real time per each individual end point.
• Test and measure per end point video and voice quality metrics (e.g. measuring JPEG, MPEG, H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.264, MPEG-4, VC-1 etc).

A sample usage scenario is to emulate real IP Phones as end points running a TLS session with Call Manager/firewall and traversing RTP using SRTP. diversifEye may emulate many individual unique end points and measures in real time per MAC, DHCP V6/V4 session establishment, individual TFTP registration with Call Manager, individual parsing of TFTP information per emulated VoIP end point model, SIP/TLS session, RTP/SRTP session with Call Manager.

diversifEye is used extensively in testing enterprise call management devices, firewalls, IMS Session Border Controllers and layer 4-7 application scalability. The key strength is diversifEye's ability not to do one secure session but thousands of sessions and applications with live performance measurements on a per session per application basis. Giving real world QoE measurements.
