The Return Routability Check (RRC) determines if a domain rightfully
'owns' an E.164 phone number, but DOES NOT prevent an attacker from
presenting a forged "From" header field.

As an example:

INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
From: +14085551234 <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone>;tag=9fxced76sl
To: Victor <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Call-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Contact: <sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: ...

[SDP not shown]

Where iptel.org owns the +14085551234 number.

Section 3.2:
-The SUBSCRIBE should be immediately acknowledged
-A NOTIFY should be immediately created and sent


Moreover IMO:
- it requires the use of signatures (or RFC4474): see Sections 3, 3.1 and 3.2
- it is defined to be used only with e164-based SIP URIs

In short, this is a good document but, as I mentioned before, ONLY
determines if a domain rightfully 'owns' an E.164 phone number, it
doesn't ask "are you calling me?"

Thanks a lot for your comments,
