Domain Certificates in the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 5922, “Domain Certificates in the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by V. Gurbani, S. Lawrence, A. Jeffrey. It updates RFC 3261. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to construct and interpret certain information in a PKIX-compliant (Public Key Infrastructure using X.509) certificate for use in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) over Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. More specifically, this document describes how to encode and extract the identity of a SIP domain in a certificate and how to use that identity for SIP domain authentication. As such, this document is relevant both to implementors of SIP and to issuers of certificates. [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.
