A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Security Considerations for RTC-Web Author(s) : Eric Rescorla Filename : draft-rescorla-rtcweb-security-00.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2011-06-05 The Real-Time Communications on the Web (RTC-Web) working group is tasked with standardizing protocols for real-time communications between Web browsers. The two major use cases for RTC-Web technology are real-time audio and/or video calls and direct data transfer. Unlike most conventional real-time systems (e.g., SIP-based soft phones) RTC-Web communications are directly controlled by some Web server, which poses new security challenges. For instance, a Web browser might expose a JavaScript API which allows a server to place a video call. Unrestricted access to such an API would allow any site which a user visited to "bug" a user's computer, capturing any activity which passed in front of their camera. This document defines the RTC-Web threat model and defines an architecture which provides security within that threat model.
