3.7.1 Security Design Overview

The HikCentral Professional platform shall consist of the server, client, service component, and
platform SDK. The interaction between server and client, server and service component, server
and platform SDK shall support HTTP and HTTPS.
To ensure the security of data storage, all the sensitive data stored in the server shall be encrypted.
All the sensitive information that does not need to be decrypted shall be encrypted by irreversible

37
 HikCentral Professional A&E Specification

encryption scheme. All sensitive information that needs to be decrypted shall be encrypted by
encryption scheme that can be decrypted.
The HikCentral Professional shall adopt the following encryption algorithms: RSA, AES, SHA, and
MD5. All the encryption algorithms shall come from the standard open-source library
OpenSSL-1.0.2K. The OpenSSL version shall be updated according to the policies of Hikvision
security lab.

3.7.2 System Security Solution

Access Protocol
By default, the HTTP protocol is used for web access. By optional, users can enable the HTTPS
protocol.
HTTPS: Users can import the HTTPS certificate to improve the security of data transmission.
HTTP: In HTTP mode, the platform shall provide an independent security solution to prevent replay
attacks.
Streaming Server Authentication
To ensure the overall security of the platform, when the clients obtain live view or playback
streams from devices via SMS (Streaming Server), the device shall be authenticated by the SMS
first.
Login Authentication
The platform authenticates users based on user name and password. The password strength and
expiration time can be configured separately on the platform. If the administrator forgets the login
password, the platform shall allow users to reset the password by license. To ensure the system
security, the input information shall be hidden during password input.
During the transmission, the password shall be encrypted by RSA algorithm in HTTP mode, and the
HTTPS internal encryption mechanism shall be used in HTTPS mode. In platform login
authentication, the verification code + user lock + IP address lock shall be used to prevent brute
force cracking from malicious user, to improve the platform security level.
Man-Machine Authentication: If an incorrect password is entered during the login, users shall
manually enter the verification code.
User Lock: This parameter is mandatory enabled. If the password is entered incorrectly for five
consecutive times, the user cannot log in to the system within 30 minutes.
IP Address Lock: This parameter is enabled by default. Users can manually configure the number of
error times and lock period. If the number of incorrect login attempts for the same IP address
exceeds the specified value, the IP address cannot be used to log in to the system within the
specified lock period.
Platform Access
After the client successfully logs in to the system, the server shall randomly generate a session for
each client. The session can effectively reduce the cracking risks caused by the frequent user name

38
 HikCentral Professional A&E Specification

and password interaction verification during the business. Each session shall have a fixed lifetime.
When a session carried by a client expires, the user shall log in to the platform again.
In HTTP mode, to ensure that the platform is not attacked by replay attacks, each session shall
carry an anti-replay token, which is unique in each session. The token is invalid immediately after
each request to prevent repeated token attacks. The token shall be encrypted using AES.
Sensitive Information Processing
For sensitive information such as user name and password that are daily used, HikCentral
Professional shall provide security solutions based on the actual service scenarios.
All sensitive information is encrypted during the interaction between the client and server. In HTTP
mode, the AES encryption shall be used to generate a random AES key for each login, to ensure
that data is not easily stolen. In HTTPS mode, SSL certificate encryption shall be used.
For the sensitive information storage, HikCentral Professional shall provide different storage
scheme according to the different business requirements. To prevent the leakage of the encryption
key of a platform from affecting other platforms, HikCentral Professional shall adopt the dynamic
AES encryption scheme for sensitive information (such as the database access password and device
access password) that needs to be locally stored. To prevent system user password leakage caused
by system data file leakage, the platform user password shall be encrypted by SHA algorithm and
stored in cipher text.

3.7.3 Security Audit Server

The platform shall support access of Security Audit Server, which is used to monitor the logs of the
managed devices in the system. Users can set event and alarm rules for the security audit server
via the Web Client. When the logs of the managed devices are regarded as abnormal, an event or
alarm shall be triggered and users can receive the alarm via the Control Client. In this way, the
platform can monitor the running status of the managed devices by the security audit server,
reaching the system security requirements.
