Beyond being plain interesting, it is the most cost-efective way to implement secure identity between SIP Proxies serving different domains.

Hello,


OpenSIPS 1.5.0 has a new module. The "identity" module is an
implementation of SIP identity as per RFC 4474
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4474.txt).

Abstract (from RFC) :

  The existing security mechanisms in the Session Initiation Protocol
  (SIP) are inadequate for cryptographically assuring the identity of
  the end users that originate SIP requests, especially in an
interdomain context. This document defines a mechanism for securely identifying originators of SIP messages. It does so by defining two
  new SIP header fields, Identity, for conveying a signature used for
validating the identity, and Identity-Info, for conveying a reference
  to the certificate of the signer

Really interesting :)
