The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Example call flows using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) security mechanisms' (draft-ietf-sipcore-sec-flows-09.txt) as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Session Initiation Protocol Core Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gonzalo Camarillo and Robert Sparks. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-sec-flows/ Technical Summary This document shows example call flows demonstrating the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It also provides information that helps implementers build interoperable SIP software. Working Group Summary This work traces its roots back to 2003, when it was first introduced into the SIP working group. For much of its lifetime, it existed quietly alongside the document "Certificate Management Service for The Session Initiation Protocol," which is currently in the RFC Editors' queue. After moving into SIPCORE, repeated requests by the chairs for review yielded a small number of in-depth reviews. Document Quality According to one of the document authors, he has received "many emails from implementors that use this draft." Using this as our data point, the document's utility as a sanity check for the security aspects of SIP implementations would seem to be very high. Ole Johansson brought back practical feedback from SIPit interoperabilty testing events regarding some of the practical aspects of what needs to appear in TLS certificates. Personnel Adam Roach is the document shepherd. Gonzalo Camarillo is the responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
