Security and Reliability

Operating System Security

Security maintenance for the system layer ensures that the operating system runs smoothly and also supports stable services at the application layer. The IdeaHub uses HarmonyOS and provides powerful antiattack capabilities.

Email Security

To ensure the security of email accounts and sent emails, the STARTTLS protocol is used by default to authenticate the email server and send encrypted emails.

Web Login Security Protection

Users can log in to the IdeaHub web interface to remotely manage the IdeaHub. The following protection measures are taken to ensure web login security:

  • When a user requests access to a specified web page which requires access authorization or submits an HTTPS request, the endpoint checks whether the user's session identifier is valid and whether the user is authorized to perform the operation.
  • The server implements the final authentication on the user.
  • Before transmitting user-generated data to clients, the server verifies the data and encodes it using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) to prevent malicious code injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
  • Web security scan software is used to scan the web server and web apps to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Protocol Anti-Attack Measures

  • The communication matrix is provided in the product documentation. Do not enable the services and ports that are not described in the communication matrix.
    The communication matrix contains the following information:
    • Open ports
    • Transport layer protocols used by the ports
    • NEs that use the ports to communicate with peer NEs
    • Application layer protocols used by the ports and description of the services at the application layer
    • Whether services at the application layer can be disabled
    • Authentication modes adopted by the ports
    • Port functions (such as data traffic control)
  • To ensure the security and stability of the video conferencing system, the endpoint utilizes multiple encryption measures, including H.235 (for encryption of media and signaling streams), SRTP, TLS, and HTTPS.
  • Robustness testing tools are used to avoid security vulnerabilities.
  • By default, the LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) protocol is used to encrypt the address book, ensuring data integrity and preventing data from being stolen.
  • The endpoint supports anti-brute-force-cracking. When the number of authentication failures reaches the preset value, the IP address or account is locked. You can access the endpoint again only when this duration ends.

Protection of Sensitive Data

  • The log, diagnostics, debug, and alarm information do not contain sensitive data such as passwords and ciphering contexts. If sensitive data is included, it is displayed as "***".
  • Sensitive data can be transmitted through secure channels or after being encrypted.
  • The endpoint checks the complexity of passwords. When a password is being entered, each stroke is displayed as "." or "*", and the entered password cannot be copied.
  • Sensitive data such as passwords and encrypted contexts must not be recorded in logs. If sensitive data really needs to be recorded, it should be displayed as "***".
  • Only standard encryption algorithms and key negotiation mechanisms are used. Proprietary algorithms are not allowed.

System Management and Maintenance Security

  • Software packages (including patches) are released only after they are scanned by at least three types of mainstream antivirus software and no issues are detected. In special cases, an explanation is provided for alarms.
  • All user operations and system exceptions are logged.
  • A two-level certificate chain is supported to ensure the transmission security of confidential data.

Security Design

  • Safety labels and tags are attached to the exterior of the product to remind users of avoiding high-risk operations.
  • The component security design meets the admission requirements of the EU, China, and other countries and regions.

DR and Backup

The IdeaHub supports disaster recovery (DR) and backup. When the server device (such as the LDAP server, ACS server, or SC) used with the IdeaHub is faulty, the IdeaHub can switch to the standby device to ensure service continuity.

Secure Startup

The IdeaHub supports secure startup. During the startup process, the integrity of the U-Boot, kernel, and application software is verified level by level to ensure that all software running on the IdeaHub is valid, thereby ensuring reliable and secure running of the IdeaHub.

Security Protection for the CloudVC Network

Public and Private Networks
The media latching and standard H.460 traversal technology are used to set up secure video call connections between public and private networks and between private networks through the firewall.

Firewall Technology (NAT)
The firewall protects your IP network by separating the internal and external network communication data. Using the Network Address Translation (NAT) access technology and signaling exchange between public network protocols and private network protocols, the firewall enables zero-distance communication among sites on local area networks (LANs) in different places through video meetings. With NAT, a device on an internal LAN is allocated a dedicated internal IP address that uniquely identifies the device on the LAN, and the device uses an external IP address to communicate with external devices. NAT mapping enables the entire private network to connect to the Internet through only a few IP addresses. Through the firewallport–based control, the private network is more secure.

Network Layer Security
The IdeaHub on the CloudVC network uses the following network layer security policies to effectively prevent external attacks:

  • The IdeaHub, SMC, and MCU are deployed in the trusted zone, isolated from the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the untrusted zone. Furthermore, firewalls are deployed for security domain division and access control.
  • The IdeaHub in the untrusted zone communicates with NEs in the trusted zone through the Switch Center (SC) in the DMZ.

Strong Network Adaptability and High Security

  • Super Error Concealment (SEC) and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) retransmission are utilized to deliver clear and smooth service even when the audiovisual packet loss rate reaches 30%.
  • Net Automatic Transfer-enhancement (netATE), and Audio Jitter Buffer (AJB) are supported to reduce the packet loss rate and improve audio quality.
  • Bandwidth sharing is supported among video and content in a meeting. This feature improves network utilization and delivers smooth HD video images.
  • Various encryption measures are taken, such as SRTP, TLS, and HTTPS, ensuring secure and stable running of the video conferencing system.

Operations and Maintenance

GUIs

Web Interface
The IdeaHub can be remotely managed by the administrator from the endpoint web interface. The web interface allows simultaneous operations from up to 10 users using the same account. When multiple users log in to the system at the same time, the latest operation of a user takes effect. In addition, the operations of different users can be recorded in logs.
Figure 1 shows the basic layout of the web interface, which varies depending on the model or license import.

IdeaShare UI
The IdeaShare is a wireless projection client designed for the IdeaHub. It can be installed on a Windows/macOS PC or Android/iOS mobile device. A maximum of 20 users can be connected at the same time. When one site is sharing content, other sites can start sharing, but the existing presentation session will automatically stop.
The Android/iOS and Windows IdeaShare wireless projection client integrates the remote control function, allowing users to mute or unmute the microphone, turn on or off the camera, end a meeting, and adjust the volume.
