Encryptied data transmission process

Purpose

Agora is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all users' physical and electronic information assets.

  • Confidentiality against unauthorized access and eavesdropping
  • Integrity against tampering and forgery
  • Availability of data transmission through the Agora SD-RTN™

Scope

This article describes how Agora protects customer data with security controls.

Data classification

All customer data, in all formats or media types, is classified according to the following categories and protected accordingly.

CategoryDescription
Customer Account DataInformation related to the customers' Agora accounts, including customer ID, customer IP, network type, operating system, email address, telephone, product interest, programing platform, UTM information, identity, company name, company URL, billing information, trade information, purchased package information, project status, ticket, member information and console access record.
End User DataInformation collected by customers related to end users' personal devices and network, including microphone and camera information, CPU status, memory status, battery status, system version, phone model, phone signal level, received signal strength indicator (RSSI), network type, user attributes and channel attributes.
Call ContentAudio and video data of the user during a call.
LogMedia server logs generated by the Agora servers when accessing the Agora SD-RTN™.

Data security

The communication between the user and the Agora server is protected by transmission protocols, such as the Agora private transmission protocol, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Web Socket Secure (WSS). You can also use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or a customized encryption algorithm for the encryption of audio and video data.

During data transmission, the Agora SD-RTN™ does not transmit any encryption key information. Call content information can only be decrypted on the terminal device (such as the client app and the customer's on-premise recording server) through the client authorization key.

Data availability

  • Large and distributed data centers: Agora has multiple data centers providing services globally, and any attack on one data center cannot affect others.
  • Rapid recovery: When a data center is subjected to malicious attacks that are difficult to prevent, such as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, Agora will automatically isolate the data center and avoid affecting users' services.
  • DDoS attack prevention: Agora has deployed anti-DDoS firewalls in each core cloud data center. Agora has more than two hundred distributed data centers around the world, which guarantees sufficient capabilities and resources to control the risk of DDoS attacks.

Data storage

Agora provides customers with the Agora On-Premise Recording SDK and Agora Cloud Recording, enabling customers to record part or all of the call contents. When using the recording services, all recorded video or audio files are stored on the storage server provided by the customer.

Access authorization

End users can access the Agora SD-RTN™ using a dynamic key, see Secure authentication with tokens.

Electronic access controls

Agora strictly controls the data access on all internal systems. All users have independent internal accounts and authorization systems, and must pass two-step verification. All access records are recorded.

All servers involving user data are strictly audited and protected. Agora employees will only access the production server when necessary, and only by obtaining temporary authorization. Operation records are kept for the whole process.

Physical access controls

All operating servers are hosted in computer rooms that meet ISO 27001 or above information security management certification standards, and all computer rooms protect information security in accordance with the escrow agreement or the Data Protection Association (DPA). Both third-party hosting providers and Agora employees must be approved before they can access servers and equipment.

Roles and responsibilities

Agora sets the responsibilities for its own staff and customers. See the following sections for more information.

Roles and responsibilities within Agora

Security roles and responsibilities within Agora are categorized as follows:

RoleResponsibilities
Information Security Sub-CommitteeThe Information Security Sub-committee (ISSC) is responsible for the development and implementation of policies and procedures. The ISSC monitors company adherence, and conducts regular technical and non-technical evaluations of Agora security policies. The ISSC also designates which employees are authorized employees.
Authorized EmployeeAn authorized employee has access to the production machines required for the support and maintenance of the Agora service as determined by the ISSC.
All Other StaffsAll other staff are required to maintain confidentiality as required by their terms of employment and are required to immediately report of any security breach.

Shared responsibilities

When evaluating the Agora SD-RTN™, it is important for customers to understand and distinguish the following security measures:

  • The security measures that Agora implements and operates.
  • The security measures that customers implement and operate to ensure the security of call content information and application when using the Agora SD-RTN™ services.

Customers retain control of the security measures they choose to protect their personal information, platform, applications, systems, and networks. Agora customers should be responsible for all information they collect from users and themselves, such as application logins, identities, passwords, payment information, names, and addresses.

Agora recommends adding obvious prompts before accessing the users' personal information. For example, add an Enable/Disable button with which the user can agree or disagree to share personal information.

Security FAQ

How do I use an Agora SDK to protect my data security?

To ensure the security of the transmitted data, Agora services provide the encryption for audio and video data. Customers can use AES-128/AES-256 or other algorithms preset by Agora, or use customized encryption algorithms to achieve encryption, see Channel Encryption. The encryption key is completely generated and distributed by the customer. Agora recommends that customers use separate keys for each channel to achieve the highest level of data security.

Is Agora AES encryption modes secure?

For network protocol encryption, Agora SDKs use AES_128 mode to encrypt network payload.

For channel encryption, Agora SDKs support AES_128/AES_256 mode to encrypt audio and video. For those who have higher requirements for content security, Agora recommends using our customized encryption. Note that the On-Premise Recording SDK and Cloud Recording does not support customized encryption. For details, please send email to support@agora.io.

Is Agora HIPAA compliant?

Yes.

How does the Agora network respond to DDoS attacks?

Agora regularly scans core network nodes to check and clear possible security holes. Agora also configures anti-DDoS firewalls in each core cloud data center to protect them from attacks. Agora has more than two hundred distributed data centers around the world, which guarantees sufficient capabilities and resources to control the risk of DDoS attacks.

Does the Agora server cache audio and video data?

When using Agora services, the audio and video data are transmitted through the Agora servers. Agora servers cache the audio and video data for 10 seconds during the transmission and release all audio and video data immediately after the call.

Best practice

Security and compliance are essential for real-time engagements through technology. In order to provide safe and reliable cloud services, Agora adheres to the compliance requirements of different countries, regions, and industries, in addition to being certified to ISO/IEC 27001. For more information, see ISO certificates.

Agora products and services are designed and built with multiple protection measures against attacks commonly seen in the real-time engagement industry. This article describes some of the security best practices that Agora has adopted, as well as security tools it provides for developers, as follows:

Protection measuresApplied by defaultRecommended scenarios
Channel seperationYesAll real-time scenarios.
Token authenticationNoAll real-time apps in a production environment should use token-based end-user authentication.
EncryptionNoReal-time scenarios that require confidentiality.
Network geofencingNoReal-time scenarios where customers wish to restrict access to Agora servers to within a specified region.

Level 1 - Channels separation

The channels architect is the first built-in layer of protection. Agora creates an independent and isolated channel for each audio, video, or messaging data transmission. All channels are logically separated and only authenticated users from the same App ID can join the same channel.

Level 2 - Token authentication

The second layer of protection is on the authentication layer. This is done via using the dynamic token authentication. The token is a short-lived access key, which is generated by the app backend and allows users to access the Agora platform after the user is properly validated by the app.

A token is generated with important information such as App ID, user ID (uid), channel name, and expiration date.

Authentication workflow

The app developer can enable token authentication (App Certificate) on Agora Console. When enabled, all user’s request to join a channel must be done with a valid token.

img

Please note for best security practices, you need to set the token expiration time (24 hours by default). A token has three expiration timestamps:

  • Token expiration: How long a token is valid for, that is, how long a user can stay in a channel.
  • Privilege expiration:
  • Join a channel: How long a token can be used to join a channel.
  • Streaming privilege: Whether a user can send audio, video or messaging to the channel, or join as an audience member. This privilege is not enabled by default.

Level 3 - Encryption

The next layer of security in the Agora platform is encrytion. Agora supports transmission encryption and data encryption.

To guarantee data confidentiality during transmission, Agora uses the AUT (Agora Universal Transport) encryption protocol, Agora's proprietary secured transport layer.

Data encryption encrypts all the audio and video streams with a symmetric key and encryption controlled by the app developer. In this level the app provides a symmetric encryption key to the local SDK libraries.

The SDK encrypts all the captured media using the key and the configured encryptions using AES 128/256 (based on configuration). The data is sent encrypted to Agora SD-RTNTM and from there to the other endpoints in the channel. The receiving endpoint will use the key provided by the app layer to decrypt the media streams and send to the renders. With this method, only the application knows the keys. In the Native SDK (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) the keys are not sent to Agora servers.

img

When using Other Agora services like Web SDK, Cloud Recording, Content Moderation, Transcoding etc, encryption is done a bit differently and it is not end-to-end. In this case media is still encrypted but the Agora service needs to be aware of the key to be able to connect to the channel and provide service. For example, in Web SDK the User/Browser protection is done via the web-server protection (HTTPS) as well as the WebRTC standard, security practice (encryption, key management etc). More information on WebRTC security can be found here.

The media encryption on Web SDK is done via WebRTC standard but the interoperability to Agora is done using Agora’s encryption engine and the encryption key is passed securely to the Web SDK servers via the APIs. The key is required as the Agora edge server will convert from WebRTC protocols to Agora’s protocol and allow interoperability with Native SDK. Similar situation happens with Cloud Recording, Content Moderation etc., where the Restful APIs are used to securely pass the key for the channel.

img

Level 4 - Network geofencing

To conform to the laws and regulations of different countries and regions, the Agora Video SDK and the Signaling SDK support network geofencing, which limits the transmission of data to within a specified region.

These SDKs support network geofencing in the following regions: global (default), North America, Europe, Asia (excluding Mainland China), Japan, India, and Mainland China. Once a customer specifies a region using geofencing, no audio, video, or message can access Agora servers outside that region.

Security best practice checklist

Use this list to quickly check what measures you have or have not taken to best protect the security of you app and users:

  1. Enable token authentication on Agora Console.
  2. Disable No certificate in your project management page. Once it is done your app authenticates users with tokens only.
  3. Deploy a token server in your backend services.
  4. Protect the token server and only allow the app backend server to connect to the token server.
  5. Set the token expiration date to a reasonable time. See the description of the expireTime parameter in API Reference.
  6. If needed, contact support@agora.io to enable token privilege and set token per role.
  7. For additional security if needed work with the Agora SA team to customize the token server and modify the token join privilege to a low time, like 5 min. This is more advance and recommended after app development is completed.
  8. Channel encryption key management – generate a random key (secret) per channel at the time of creating the channel, do not reuse encryption keys.
  9. Pass the channel encryption key (secret) securely outside of Agora engine to authenticated endpoints that are allowed to join the channel.
  10. For additional security, you can also do the following:
    1. Set the “Agora channel name” to a one-time random string managed by your app.
    2. Set the Agora uid to a one-time numeric id that is mapped to the user on the app level. Do not use the users' real ID on your app as the Agora uid.
