Method and system for cryptographically secure hashed end marker of streaming data

摘要

A method and system for cryptographically secure hashed end marker of streaming data. In one embodiment, a method for transmitting streaming data comprises establishing a shared secret between a receiving participant and a sending participant; using the shared secret to initialize a cryptographically secure hashed end of file marker for the streaming data that is updated as the streaming data is transmitted or received; transmitting the streaming data from the sending participant to the receiving participant; and comparing the streaming data with the cryptographically secure hashed end of file marker to determine when an end of the streaming data occurs.
