Encrypted Key Transport for DTLS and Secure RTP
RFC 8870, “Encrypted Key Transport for DTLS and Secure RTP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by C. Jennings, J. Mattsson, D. McGrew, D. Wing, F. Andreasen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Encrypted Key Transport (EKT) is an extension to DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) and the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) that provides for the secure transport of SRTP master keys, rollover counters, and other information within SRTP. This facility enables SRTP for decentralized conferences by distributing a common key to all of the conference endpoints.
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.
