Security Considerations for Signaling Transport Protocols
RFC 3788, “Security Considerations for Signaling Transport Protocols”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2004 by J. Loughney, M. Tuexen, J. Pastor-Balbas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses how Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IPsec can be used to secure communication for SIGTRAN protocols. The main goal is to recommend the minimum security means that a SIGTRAN node must implement in order to attain secured communication. The support of IPsec is mandatory for all nodes running SIGTRAN protocols. TLS support is optional. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
