I guess we might have "can't say who you are talking with, but nobody can listen in". That in itself is of some utility.

And maybe with sip identity we have "somebody you trust says you are talking to X, and nobody can listen in to whoever you are talking to".


Right. But between "all" and "nothing" there's some middle ground: "Nobody who hasn't been authorized to do so by your regulated provider can listen in". This is the middle ground they're asking us to fill in.

Do we want to go there, or is it all-or-nothing?

Well, that is one of the issues isn't it?

I have mixed feelings whether the middle ground is any better and nothing.

So I don't know. But either way, I think these need to be turned into meaningful assertions that can be verified.

We have similar situations with callerid. There are a variety of mechanisms used to provide info that is presented as "callerid". These have a wide range of trustworthiness. I would like to have a way to determine the kind of assertion that goes with a callerid when it is displayed to me.

        Thanks,
