- performing a privacy protection operation on the surveillance video file uploaded from a camera device;
- wherein said performing a privacy protection operation on the surveillance video file uploaded from a camera device comprises at least one of the following operations:
- setting an attribute of the surveillance video file to be hidden;
- and
- encrypting the surveillance video file;
- wherein said encrypting the surveillance video file comprises:
- acquiring a file key used for encrypting the surveillance video file;
- encrypting the surveillance video file based on the file key;
- wherein when the surveillance video file is encrypted, the method further comprises:
- acquiring a user private key of a preset user account;
- generating a user public key of the preset user account according to the file key and the user private key of the preset user account;
