The full form of RTMPS is Real-Time Messaging Protocol over an SSL/TLS network

RTMPS is Real-Time Messaging Protocol over an SSL/TLS network. The SSL/TLS network part of the equation just means that your data is better safeguarded from outside hosts trying to steal your info. So, from point A to point B your stream will be guarded with an extra barrier of security so that the confidentiality of your streams remains intact. The only difference you’ll notice between an RTMP and RTMPS stream is the first part of your stream URL (rtmp:// versus rtmps://).

RTMPS is a variation of RTMP that has an added layer of security, which is important since piracy and cybersecurity threats are on the rise.

In this post, we will cover everything you need to know about RTMPS and its role in live streaming. We are going to start off by discussing the history and uses of RTMP proper before discussing the ins and outs of RTMPS.

From there, we will take a special look at RTMPS for mobile streaming before we wrap things up with a review of a few other RTMP variations and additional tools for protected streaming.
