Certificate Management Service for the Session Initiation Protocol
RFC 6072, “Certificate Management Service for the Session Initiation Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2011 by C. Jennings, J. Fischl. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a credential service that allows Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) User Agents (UAs) to use a SIP event package to discover the certificates of other users. This mechanism allows User Agents that want to contact a given Address-of-Record (AOR) to retrieve that AOR's certificate by subscribing to the credential service, which returns an authenticated response containing that certificate. The credential service also allows users to store and retrieve their own certificates and private keys. [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.
