Title : Security Considerations for WebRTC
Author : Eric Rescorla
Filename : draft-ietf-rtcweb-security-07.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2014-07-04
Abstract:
The Real-Time Communications on the Web (RTCWEB) working group is
tasked with standardizing protocols for real-time communications
between Web browsers, generally called "WebRTC". The major use cases
for WebRTC technology are real-time audio and/or video calls, Web
conferencing, and direct data transfer. Unlike most conventional
real-time systems (e.g., SIP-based soft phones) WebRTC communications
are directly controlled by a 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 WebRTC threat model and
analyzes the security threats of WebRTC in that model.
