Abstract This document describes a method for confidentiality protection (encryption) of the payload in conversational multimedia applications running over the Real-time Transport Protocol [RTP]. The proposal is based on the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Proposal) confidentiality algorithm "f8", and the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The proposed scheme satisfies all the requirements put forward in [CMSec], such as being error-robust and allowing for bandwidth-saving header compression. Most important, the solution is based on a security mechanism that has undergone public scrutiny, and is widely accepted to be secure.
