The IESG has received a request from the Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance WG (avtcore) to consider the following document: - 'Encryption of Header Extensions in the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP)' <draft-ietf-avtcore-srtp-encrypted-header-ext-04.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2013-01-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) provides authentication, but not encryption, of the headers of Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets. However, RTP header extensions may carry sensitive information for which participants in multimedia sessions want confidentiality. This document provides a mechanism, extending the mechanisms of SRTP, to selectively encrypt RTP header extensions in SRTP. This document updates RFC 3711, the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol specification, to require that all future SRTP encryption transforms specify how RTP header extensions are to be encrypted. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtcore-srtp-encrypted-header-ext/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avtcore-srtp-encrypted-header-ext/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
