S/MIME Advanced Encryption Standard Requirement for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 3853, “S/MIME Advanced Encryption Standard Requirement for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2004 by J. Peterson. It updates RFC 3261. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 3261 currently specifies 3DES as the mandatory-to-implement ciphersuite for implementations of S/MIME in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This document updates the normative guidance of RFC 3261 to require the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for S/MIME. [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.
