Abstract
A method and a system for distributing key of media stream are provided. The method comprises: determining, by a security management server, whether a domain to which the calling terminal belongs and a domain to which a called terminal belongs subscribe a key distribution protocol; generating a key based on encryption capability information obtained in a calling process, and distributing the generated key to the calling terminal and the called terminal, if the protocol has been subscribed; generating a key based on encryption capability information obtained in a calling process, and distributing the generated key to the terminal at the same side as the security management server, if the protocol has not been subscribed. By applying the disclosure, the key is generated by the security management server, so that complexity may be reduced for media stream key negotiation to facilitate promotion of media stream encryption service.
