Trait-Based Authorization Requirements for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 4484, “Trait-Based Authorization Requirements for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is an Informational document published in August 2006 by J. Peterson, J. Polk, D. Sicker, H. Tschofenig. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document lays out a set of requirements related to trait-based authorization for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). While some authentication mechanisms are described in the base SIP specification, trait-based authorization provides information used to make policy decisions based on the attributes of a participant in a session. This approach provides a richer framework for authorization, as well as allows greater privacy for users of an identity system. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
