This memo discusses the problem of securing real-time multimedia
sessions. It also explains why the Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP) and the associated RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) do not mandate a
single media security mechanism. This is relevant for designers and
reviewers of future RTP extensions to ensure that appropriate
security mechanisms are mandated and that any such mechanisms are
specified in a manner that conforms with the RTP architecture.
This document is a product of the Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance Working Group of the IETF.
