rfc3325.txt Summary
Private Extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Asserted Identity within Trusted Networks
Author(s) C. Jennings, J. Peterson, M. Watson
Organization ietf
State informational
Size 36170 bytes
Abstract This document describes private extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) that enable a network of trusted SIP servers to assert the identity of authenticated users, and the application of existing privacy mechanisms to the identity problem. The use of these extensions is only applicable inside an administrative domain with previously agreed-upon policies for generation, transport and usage of such information. This document does NOT offer a general privacy or identity model suitable for use between different trust domains, or use in the Internet at large.

draft-ietf-sip-identity-01.txt Summary "Enhancements for Authenticated Identity Management in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)", Jon Peterson, 07-MAR-03,
The existing mechanisms for expressing identity in the Session Initiation Protocol oftentimes do not permit an administrative domain to verify securely the identity of the originator of a request. This document recommends practices and conventions for authenticating end users, and proposes a way to distribute cryptographically secure authenticated identities within SIP messages.

A Privacy Mechanism for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) J. Peterson
Organization ietf
State proposed standard
Size 54116 bytes
Abstract This document defines new mechanisms for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in support of privacy. Specifically, guidelines are provided for the creation of messages that do not divulge personal identity information. A new "privacy service" logical role for intermediaries is defined to answer some privacy requirements that user agents cannot satisfy themselves. Finally, means are presented by which a user can request particular functions from a privacy service.

rfc3324.txt Summary
Short Term Requirements for Network Asserted Identity
Author(s) M. Watson
Organization ietf
State informational
Size 21964 bytes
Abstract A Network Asserted Identity is an identity initially derived by a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network intermediary as a result of an authentication process. This document describes short term requirements for the exchange of Network Asserted Identities within networks of securely interconnected trusted nodes and to User Agents securely connected to such networks. There is no requirement for identities asserted by a UA in a SIP message to be anything other than the user's desired alias.

SIP Extensions for Network-Asserted Caller Identity and Privacy within Trusted Networks
Author(s) F Andreasen
Organization ietf
Working group sip
State unknown
Date 2002-03-06
Size 91142 bytes
Abstract This document describes extensions to SIP that enable a network of trusted SIP servers to assert the identity of end users or end systems, and to convey indications of end-user requested privacy. The use of these extensions are only applicable inside an administrative domain, or among federations of administrative domains with previously agreed-upon policies for usage of such information. This document does NOT offer a general privacy or identity model suitable for inter-domain use or use in the Internet at large.
