I think it is at least a bit useful. If Alice calls Bob, Bob can ensure that the signalling for the call originated from Alice. He can't assert that the media is to/from Alice yet, but it is a start. More usefully, if Eve calls Bob, Bob can see that it isn't Alice. A positive result from signalling-only identity isn't as useful as you might hope. But a negative result is still interesting. Is that enough of a solution to still be useful? There are still several holes in it, but it is better than we have at present. > I'm thinking that a lot of people are demanding signaling identity > without media identity, and haven't really thought about the > consequences of that decision because they grew up with a telephone > system that essentially lacks the distinction.
