Hi Varun, I think P-asserted Identity can also be used without privacy.
For example A is calling B through some proxy. But A can put any display name in its from header field. (say that of C). But the proxy will have the correct credentials(through Digest authentication). It will put the exact credentials in P-asserted Identity header(that of A). Through this B could come to know whether A is calling or C is calling. Now B can safely talk if its C or he can talk/reject if its A. Correct if i am wrong.

Could somebody explain in simple terms the use of these two headers. Need this info ASAP, would be really helpful if somebody could reply.
