You're upset that an encrypted stream needs encryption keys? And that you need physical access, the binaries themselves, and reverse engineering tools to get them?
I think you'll be surprised to learn you can do the same thing to any program which encrypts data
No, I’m not upset. Private keys are necessary, that’s fine. Vivotek encrypts them additionaly, but stores the encryption keys right next to the encypted data.
One could use TPM chip to store the keys, rather than such useless obscure encryption, which looks secure, but it’s not.
