A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Identity Based Authentication in the Session Initiation Protocol

Session Initiation Protocol is the Internet Engineering Task Force's
standard for multimedia communications in an IP network.
Authentication in SIP has been a major concern and most of the
existing authentication mechanisms in SIP are dependent on public key
infrastructure (PKI) or shared secrets (passwords).This document
proposes new authentication schemes in SIP using identity-based
signature and signcryption schemes. This approach provides security
comparable to that of certificate-based authentication while
preserving the operational simplicity of shared-secret techniques.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-kupwade-sip-iba-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
