Multicast video streaming in heterogeneous networks undergoes to very different physical constraints, in fact, such networks are characterized by different QoS parameters, involving one or more transcoding process between the sender and the receivers. Video streaming authentication algorithms must be robust to transcoding processes and must guarantee the copyright of the video owner/producer. We propose a real-time video streaming authentication algorithm that can guarantee the copyright of the video owner and that we prove to be robust to packet loss and transcoding processes.
