Secure Telephone Identity Credentials: Certificates
RFC 8226, “Secure Telephone Identity Credentials: Certificates”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2018 by J. Peterson, S. Turner. It has since been updated by RFC 9118. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In order to prevent the impersonation of telephone numbers on the Internet, some kind of credential system needs to exist that cryptographically asserts authority over telephone numbers. This document describes the use of certificates in establishing authority over telephone numbers, as a component of a broader architecture for managing telephone numbers as identities in protocols like SIP.
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.
