Avoid using PINs for the interpretation rooms

[marcos-cereijo-pexip]

Currently we need a PIN to enter the interpretation room. We need to simplify the process to join the interpretation room, but we need to maintain the security.

The proposal is to use the callTag and the pexHash to do the interpretation room authentication.

The process is the following:

• We will use a local participant policy that will add a callTag to the participant for the main room. We will follow the next process to obtain it:

  1. Concatenate the following parameters:
  • pin
  • guest_pin
  • local_alias
  2. Use pex_hash over the previous output.
  3. Take only the last 20 digits.

• The plugin will get the user callTag and process it to create the pin for the interpretation room. We will need to follow the following process:

  1. Concatenate the following parameters:
  • Previous callTag
  • role (e.g. interpreter or listener)

• The service configuration policy will try to replicate the same pin following the same process. It will chose the role interpreter for the pin and listener for guest_pin.

In the end we use the display_name instead of the pin and guest_pin.
