VLC does not really implement access control. For multicast streaming, 
access control should be handled at a lower-layer, by the networking 
infrastructure.

For unicast, we are currently implementing SSL-based encryption and 
authentification, but performance will probably not be as good as with 
unencrypted streaming. Besides, it is not possible to use SSL 
encryption on Windows at the moment.

Some people are pushing a project based on VLC to implement more 
standard and secure video encryption, but it definitely won't be 
available before 2006/2007.


That said, depending on what you need, access control might not be so 
complicated to implement, so you should either do it yourself and have 
someone implement it for you.
