The IESG has received a request from the Secure Telephone Identity Revisited WG (stir) to consider the following document: - 'Authenticated Identity Management in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)' <draft-ietf-stir-rfc4474bis-14.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-11-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The baseline security mechanisms in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) are inadequate for cryptographically assuring the identity of the end users that originate SIP requests, especially in an interdomain context. This document defines a mechanism for securely identifying originators of SIP requests. It does so by defining a SIP header field for conveying a signature used for validating the identity, and for conveying a reference to the credentials of the signer. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-stir-rfc4474bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-stir-rfc4474bis/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2562/
