| 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.
