How to deploy HTTPS in Wowza Streaming Engine
HTTPS means HTTP implementation over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This protocol is able to encrypt HTTP streaming traffic such as HLS, HDS, and Smooth. I explained HTTPS deployment in webserver at my post, but media streaming field is a little bit different for this goal.
