12. Two Versions of Javascript which tokbox provides:
1.Client side javascript
The client-side API is a JavaScript library that gives you control over how you size,
place, move and connect video streams within your application. For Flash
developers, we also provide a client-side ActionScript library
2. Server side javascript(For IBM site this is what needs to be used)
The server-side API is a library in your programming language of choice that you can
use to generate tokens and sessions IDs programmatically in a way that talks to your
app.
Note: You can also access tokbox development enviormnet by buying API Key from
them

13. Privacy and security Feature
They give this feature only on server side API, by giving you unique token when
connecting to an OpenTok session. For sessions, TokBox protects privacy by generating a
unique session ID —a randomized string of 40 alphanumeric characters—for each video
chat session. Also, with OpenTok the developer can build functionality to remove
unwanted participants.

The basic feature come free, but server side API KEY one need to be
purchased
