Translation: In order to prevent deployment of a secure system and enable lawful, unlawful, and extralawful intercept, 3GPP is focusing on key management protocols that expose the media key via the signaling plane, and on implementations that expose the signaling plane to all intermediaries. Now, if THAT doesn't set Henry off, I don't know what will. He's probably been spied on by the Stasi, Ceaus,escu's Securitate, the KGB, the CIA, AT&T, and for all I know, the NRA and KFC ;-). I forgive him for being a little touchy about communications security. And for you folks who trust your carriers to do the right thing: Remember, you trusted Wall Street firms, UBS, Societe General traders, etc. to do the right thing too. And they're the ones getting trillion-dollar bailouts to pay the interest on last year's bonuses to their executive teams. Maybe Henry's right. -- Dean _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new developments on the application of sip
