Applications and Real-Time Area Privacy Enhanced RTP Conferencing PERC SRTP RTP DTLS DTLS-SRTP DTLS tunnel conferencing security This document defines a protocol for tunneling DTLS traffic in multimedia conferences that enables a Media Distributor to facilitate key exchange between an endpoint in a conference and the Key Distributor. The protocol is designed to ensure that the keying material used for hop-by-hop encryption and authentication is accessible to the Media Distributor, while the keying material used for end-to-end encryption and authentication is inaccessible to the Media Distributor.

Introduction An objective of Privacy-Enhanced RTP Conferencing (PERC) is to ensure that endpoints in a multimedia conference have access to the end-to-end (E2E) and hop-by-hop (HBH) keying material used to encrypt and authenticate Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets , while the Media Distributor has access only to the HBH keying material for encryption and authentication. This specification defines a tunneling protocol that enables the Media Distributor to tunnel DTLS messages between an endpoint and a Key Distributor, thus allowing an endpoint to use DTLS for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (DTLS-SRTP) for establishing encryption and authentication keys with the Key Distributor. The tunnel established between the Media Distributor and Key Distributor is a TLS connection that is established before any messages are forwarded by the Media Distributor on behalf of endpoints. DTLS packets received from an endpoint are encapsulated by the Media Distributor inside this tunnel as data to be sent to the Key Distributor. Likewise, when the Media Distributor receives data from the Key Distributor over the tunnel, it extracts the DTLS message inside and forwards the DTLS message to the endpoint. In this way, the DTLS association for the DTLS-SRTP procedures is established between an endpoint and the Key Distributor, with the Media Distributor forwarding DTLS messages between the two entities via the established tunnel to the Key Distributor and having no visibility into the confidential information exchanged. Following the existing DTLS-SRTP procedures, the endpoint and Key Distributor will arrive at a selected cipher and keying material, which are used for HBH encryption and authentication by both the endpoint and the Media Distributor. However, since the Media Distributor would not have direct access to this information, the Key Distributor explicitly shares the HBH key information with the Media Distributor via the tunneling protocol defined in this document. Additionally, the endpoint and Key Distributor will agree on a cipher for E2E encryption and authentication. The Key Distributor will transmit keying material to the endpoint for E2E operations but will not share that information with the Media Distributor. By establishing this TLS tunnel between the Media Distributor and Key Distributor and implementing the protocol defined in this document, it is possible for the Media Distributor to facilitate the establishment of a secure DTLS association between an endpoint and the Key Distributor in order for the endpoint to generate E2E and HBH keying material. At the same time, the Key Distributor can securely provide the HBH keying material to the Media Distributor.

Conventions Used in This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. This document uses the terms "endpoint", "Media Distributor", and "Key Distributor" defined in .

Tunneling Concept A TLS connection (tunnel) is established between the Media Distributor and the Key Distributor. This tunnel is used to relay DTLS messages between the endpoint and Key Distributor, as depicted in :

TLS Tunnel to Key Distributor +-------------+ | Key | | Distributor | +-------------+ # ^ ^ # # | | # <-- TLS Tunnel # | | # +----------+ +-------------+ +----------+ | | DTLS | | DTLS | | | Endpoint |<------------| Media |------------>| Endpoint | | | to Key | Distributor | to Key | | | | Distributor | | Distributor | | +----------+ +-------------+ +----------+

The three entities involved in this communication flow are the endpoint, the Media Distributor, and the Key Distributor. The behavior of each entity is described in . The Key Distributor is a logical function that might be co-resident with a key management server operated by an enterprise, might reside in one of the endpoints participating in the conference, or might reside at some other location that is trusted with E2E keying material.

Example Message Flows This section provides an example message flow to help clarify the procedures described later in this document. It is necessary that the Key Distributor and Media Distributor establish a mutually authenticated TLS connection for the purpose of sending tunneled messages, though the complete TLS handshake for the tunnel is not shown in because there is nothing new this document introduces with regard to those procedures. Once the tunnel is established, it is possible for the Media Distributor to relay the DTLS messages between the endpoint and the Key Distributor. shows a message flow wherein the endpoint uses DTLS-SRTP to establish an association with the Key Distributor. In the process, the Media Distributor shares its supported SRTP protection profile information (see ), and the Key Distributor shares the HBH keying material and selected cipher with the Media Distributor.

Sample DTLS-SRTP Exchange via the Tunnel Endpoint Media Distributor Key Distributor | | | | |<=======================>| | | TLS Connection Made | | | | | |========================>| | | SupportedProfiles | | | | |------------------------>|========================>| | DTLS handshake message | TunneledDtls | | | | .... may be multiple handshake messages ... | | | |<------------------------|<========================| | DTLS handshake message | TunneledDtls | | | | | | | | |<========================| | | MediaKeys |

After the initial TLS connection has been established, each of the messages on the right-hand side of is a tunneling protocol message, as defined in . SRTP protection profiles supported by the Media Distributor will be sent in a SupportedProfiles message when the TLS tunnel is initially established. The Key Distributor will use that information to select a common profile supported by both the endpoint and the Media Distributor to ensure that HBH operations can be successfully performed. As DTLS messages are received from the endpoint by the Media Distributor, they are forwarded to the Key Distributor encapsulated inside a TunneledDtls message. Likewise, as TunneledDtls messages are received by the Media Distributor from the Key Distributor, the encapsulated DTLS packet is forwarded to the endpoint. The Key Distributor will provide the SRTP keying material to the Media Distributor for HBH operations via the MediaKeys message. The Media Distributor will extract this keying material from the MediaKeys message when received and use it for HBH encryption and authentication.

Tunneling Procedures The following subsections explain in detail the expected behavior of the endpoint, the Media Distributor, and the Key Distributor. It is important to note that the tunneling protocol described in this document is not an extension to TLS or DTLS. Rather, it is a protocol that transports DTLS messages generated by an endpoint or Key Distributor as data inside of the TLS connection established between the Media Distributor and Key Distributor.

Endpoint Procedures The endpoint follows the procedures outlined for DTLS-SRTP in order to establish the cipher and keys used for encryption and authentication, with the endpoint acting as the client and the Key Distributor acting as the server. The endpoint does not need to be aware of the fact that DTLS messages it transmits toward the Media Distributor are being tunneled to the Key Distributor. The endpoint MUST include a unique identifier in the tls-id Session Description Protocol (SDP) attribute in all offer and answer messages that it generates, as per . Further, the endpoint MUST include this same unique identifier in the external_session_id extension in the ClientHello message when establishing a DTLS association. When receiving an external_session_id value from the Key Distributor, the client MUST check to ensure that value matches the tls-id value received in SDP. If the values do not match, the endpoint MUST consider any received keying material to be invalid and terminate the DTLS association.

Tunnel Establishment Procedures Either the Media Distributor or Key Distributor initiates the establishment of a TLS tunnel. Which entity acts as the TLS client when establishing the tunnel and what event triggers the establishment of the tunnel are outside the scope of this document. Further, how the trust relationships are established between the Key Distributor and Media Distributor are also outside the scope of this document. A tunnel MUST be a mutually authenticated TLS connection. The Media Distributor or Key Distributor MUST establish a tunnel prior to forwarding tunneled DTLS messages. Given the time-sensitive nature of DTLS-SRTP procedures, a tunnel SHOULD be established prior to the Media Distributor receiving a DTLS message from an endpoint. A single tunnel MAY be used to relay DTLS messages between any number of endpoints and the Key Distributor. A Media Distributor MAY have more than one tunnel established between itself and one or more Key Distributors. When multiple tunnels are established, which tunnel or tunnels to use to send messages for a given conference is outside the scope of this document.

Media Distributor Tunneling Procedures The first message transmitted over the tunnel is the SupportedProfiles message (see ). This message informs the Key Distributor about which DTLS-SRTP profiles the Media Distributor supports. This message MUST be sent each time a new tunnel connection is established or, in the case of connection loss, when a connection is re-established. The Media Distributor MUST support the same list of protection profiles for the duration of any endpoint-initiated DTLS association and tunnel connection. The Media Distributor MUST assign a unique association identifier for each endpoint-initiated DTLS association and include it in all messages forwarded to the Key Distributor. The Key Distributor will subsequently include this identifier in all messages it sends so that the Media Distributor can map messages received via a tunnel and forward those messages to the correct endpoint. The association identifier MUST be a version 4 Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), as described in . When a DTLS message is received by the Media Distributor from an endpoint, it forwards the UDP payload portion of that message to the Key Distributor encapsulated in a TunneledDtls message. The Media Distributor is not required to forward all messages received from an endpoint for a given DTLS association through the same tunnel if more than one tunnel has been established between it and a Key Distributor. When a MediaKeys message is received, the Media Distributor MUST extract the cipher and keying material conveyed in order to subsequently perform HBH encryption and authentication operations for RTP and RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packets sent between it and an endpoint. Since the HBH keying material will be different for each endpoint, the Media Distributor uses the association identifier included by the Key Distributor to ensure that the HBH keying material is used with the correct endpoint. The Media Distributor MUST forward all DTLS messages received from either the endpoint or the Key Distributor (via the TunneledDtls message) to ensure proper communication between those two entities. When the Media Distributor detects an endpoint has disconnected or when it receives conference control messages indicating the endpoint is to be disconnected, the Media Distributor MUST send an EndpointDisconnect message with the association identifier assigned to the endpoint to the Key Distributor. The Media Distributor SHOULD take a loss of all RTP and RTCP packets as an indicator that the endpoint has disconnected. The particulars of how RTP and RTCP are to be used to detect an endpoint disconnect, such as timeout period, are not specified. The Media Distributor MAY use additional indicators to determine when an endpoint has disconnected.

Key Distributor Tunneling Procedures Each TLS tunnel established between the Media Distributor and the Key Distributor MUST be mutually authenticated. When the Media Distributor relays a DTLS message from an endpoint, the Media Distributor will include an association identifier that is unique per endpoint-originated DTLS association. The association identifier remains constant for the life of the DTLS association. The Key Distributor identifies each distinct endpoint-originated DTLS association by the association identifier. When processing an incoming endpoint association, the Key Distributor MUST extract the external_session_id value transmitted in the ClientHello message and match that against the tls-id value the endpoint transmitted via SDP. If the values in SDP and the ClientHello message do not match, the DTLS association MUST be rejected. The process through which the tls-id value in SDP is conveyed to the Key Distributor is outside the scope of this document. The Key Distributor MUST match the fingerprint of the certificate and external_session_id received from the endpoint via DTLS with the expected fingerprint and tls-id values received via SDP. It is through this process that the Key Distributor can be sure to deliver the correct conference key to the endpoint. The Key Distributor MUST report its own unique identifier in the external_session_id extension. This extension is sent in the EncryptedExtensions message in DTLS 1.3 and the ServerHello message in previous DTLS versions. This value MUST also be conveyed back to the client via SDP as a tls-id attribute. The Key Distributor MUST encapsulate any DTLS message it sends to an endpoint inside a TunneledDtls message (see ). The Key Distributor is not required to transmit all messages for a given DTLS association through the same tunnel if more than one tunnel has been established between it and the Media Distributor. The Key Distributor MUST use the same association identifier in messages sent to an endpoint as was received in messages from that endpoint. This ensures the Media Distributor can forward the messages to the correct endpoint. The Key Distributor extracts tunneled DTLS messages from an endpoint and acts on those messages as if that endpoint had established the DTLS association directly with the Key Distributor. The Key Distributor is acting as the DTLS server, and the endpoint is acting as the DTLS client. The handling of the messages and certificates is exactly the same as normal DTLS-SRTP procedures between endpoints. The Key Distributor MUST send a MediaKeys message to the Media Distributor immediately after the DTLS handshake completes. The MediaKeys message includes the selected cipher (i.e., protection profile), Master Key Identifier (MKI) value (if any), HBH SRTP master keys, and SRTP master salt values. The Key Distributor MUST use the same association identifier in the MediaKeys message as is used in the TunneledDtls messages for the given endpoint. There are presently two SRTP protection profiles defined for PERC, namely DOUBLE_AEAD_AES_128_GCM_AEAD_AES_128_GCM and DOUBLE_AEAD_AES_256_GCM_AEAD_AES_256_GCM . As explained in , the Media Distributor is only given the SRTP master key for HBH operations. As such, the SRTP master key length advertised in the MediaKeys message is half the length of the key normally associated with the selected "double" protection profile. The Key Distributor uses the certificate fingerprint of the endpoint along with the unique identifier received in the external_session_id extension to determine with which conference a given DTLS association is associated. The Key Distributor MUST select a cipher that is supported by itself, the endpoint, and the Media Distributor to ensure proper HBH operations. When the DTLS association between the endpoint and the Key Distributor is terminated, regardless of which entity initiated the termination, the Key Distributor MUST send an EndpointDisconnect message with the association identifier assigned to the endpoint to the Media Distributor.

Versioning Considerations Since the Media Distributor sends the first message over the tunnel, it effectively establishes the version of the protocol to be used. If that version is not supported by the Key Distributor, the Key Distributor MUST transmit an UnsupportedVersion message containing the highest version number supported and close the TLS connection. The Media Distributor MUST take note of the version received in an UnsupportedVersion message and use that version when attempting to re-establish a failed tunnel connection. Note that it is not necessary for the Media Distributor to understand the newer version of the protocol to understand that the first message received is an UnsupportedVersion message. The Media Distributor can determine from the first four octets received what the version number is and that the message is an UnsupportedVersion message. The rest of the data received, if any, would be discarded and the connection closed (if not already closed).

Tunneling Protocol Tunneled messages are transported via the TLS tunnel as application data between the Media Distributor and the Key Distributor. Tunnel messages are specified using the format described in . As in , all values are stored in network byte (big endian) order; the uint32 represented by the hex bytes 01 02 03 04 is equivalent to the decimal value 16909060. This protocol defines several different messages, each of which contains the following information:

• message type identifier
• message body length
• the message body

Each of the tunnel messages is a TunnelMessage structure with the message type indicating the actual content of the message body.

TunnelMessage Structure TunnelMessage defines the structure of all messages sent via the tunnel protocol. That structure includes a field called msg_type that identifies the specific type of message contained within TunnelMessage. enum { supported_profiles(1), unsupported_version(2), media_keys(3), tunneled_dtls(4), endpoint_disconnect(5), (255) } MsgType; opaque uuid[16]; struct { MsgType msg_type; uint16 length; select (MsgType) { case supported_profiles: SupportedProfiles; case unsupported_version: UnsupportedVersion; case media_keys: MediaKeys; case tunneled_dtls: TunneledDtls; case endpoint_disconnect: EndpointDisconnect; } body; } TunnelMessage; The elements of TunnelMessage include:

msg_type:

the type of message contained within the structure body.

length:

the length in octets of the following body of the message.

body:

the actual message being conveyed within this TunnelMessage structure.

SupportedProfiles Message The SupportedProfiles message is defined as: uint8 SRTPProtectionProfile[2]; /* from RFC 5764 */ struct { uint8 version; SRTPProtectionProfile protection_profiles<2..2^16-1>; } SupportedProfiles; The elements of SupportedProfiles include:

version:

this document specifies version 0x00.

protection_profiles:

the list of two-octet SRTP protection profile values, as per , supported by the Media Distributor.

UnsupportedVersion Message The UnsupportedVersion message is defined as: struct { uint8 highest_version; } UnsupportedVersion; UnsupportedVersion contains this single element:

highest_version:

indicates the highest version of the protocol supported by the Key Distributor.

MediaKeys Message The MediaKeys message is defined as: struct { uuid association_id; SRTPProtectionProfile protection_profile; opaque mki<0..255>; opaque client_write_SRTP_master_key<1..255>; opaque server_write_SRTP_master_key<1..255>; opaque client_write_SRTP_master_salt<1..255>; opaque server_write_SRTP_master_salt<1..255>; } MediaKeys; The fields are described as follows:

association_id:

a value that identifies a distinct DTLS association between an endpoint and the Key Distributor.

protection_profiles:

the value of the two-octet SRTP protection profile value, as per , used for this DTLS association.

mki:

master key identifier ; a zero-length field indicates that no MKI value is present.

client_write_SRTP_master_key:

the value of the SRTP master key used by the client (endpoint).

server_write_SRTP_master_key:

the value of the SRTP master key used by the server (Media Distributor).

client_write_SRTP_master_salt:

the value of the SRTP master salt used by the client (endpoint).

server_write_SRTP_master_salt:

the value of the SRTP master salt used by the server (Media Distributor).

TunneledDtls Message The TunneledDtls message is defined as: struct { uuid association_id; opaque dtls_message<1..2^16-1>; } TunneledDtls; The fields are described as follows:

association_id:

a value that identifies a distinct DTLS association between an endpoint and the Key Distributor.

dtls_message:

the content of the DTLS message received by the endpoint or to be sent to the endpoint, including one or more complete DTLS records.

EndpointDisconnect Message The EndpointDisconnect message is defined as: struct { uuid association_id; } EndpointDisconnect; The field is described as follows:

association_id:

a value that identifies a distinct DTLS association between an endpoint and the Key Distributor.

Example Binary Encoding The TunnelMessage is encoded in binary, following the procedures specified in . This section provides an example of what the bits on the wire would look like for the SupportedProfiles message that advertises support for both DOUBLE_AEAD_AES_128_GCM_AEAD_AES_128_GCM and DOUBLE_AEAD_AES_256_GCM_AEAD_AES_256_GCM . TunnelMessage: message_type: 0x01 length: 0x0007 SupportedProfiles: version: 0x00 protection_profiles: 0x0004 (length) 0x0009000A (value) Thus, the encoding on the wire, presented here in network byte order, would be this stream of octets: 0x0100070000040009000A

IANA Considerations This document establishes the "Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Tunnel Protocol Message Types for Privacy Enhanced Conferencing" registry to contain message type values used in the DTLS tunnel protocol. These message type values are a single octet in length. This document defines the values shown in below, leaving the balance of possible values reserved for future specifications: Message Type Values for the DTLS Tunnel Protocol

MsgType	Description
0x01	Supported SRTP Protection Profiles
0x02	Unsupported Version
0x03	Media Keys
0x04	Tunneled DTLS
0x05	Endpoint Disconnect

The value 0x00 is reserved, and all values in the range 0x06 to 0xFF are available for allocation. The procedures for updating this table are those defined as "IETF Review" in .

Security Considerations Since the procedures in this document rely on TLS for transport security, the security considerations for TLS should be reviewed when implementing the protocol defined in this document. While the tunneling protocol defined in this document does not use DTLS-SRTP directly, it does convey and negotiate some of the same information (e.g., protection profile data). As such, a review of the security considerations found in that document may be useful. This document describes a means of securely exchanging keying material and cryptographic transforms for both E2E and HBH encryption and authentication of media between an endpoint and a Key Distributor via a Media Distributor. Additionally, the procedures result in delivering HBH information to the intermediary Media Distributor. The Key Distributor and endpoint are the only two entities with access to both the E2E and HBH keys, while the Media Distributor has access to only HBH information. enumerates various attacks against which one must guard when implementing a Media Distributor; these scenarios are important to note. A requirement in this document is that a TLS connection between the Media Distributor and the Key Distributor be mutually authenticated. The reason for this requirement is to ensure that only an authorized Media Distributor receives the HBH keying material. If an unauthorized Media Distributor gains access to the HBH keying material, it can easily cause service degradation or denial by transmitting HBH-valid packets that ultimately fail E2E authentication or replay protection checks (see ). Even if service does not appear degraded in any way, transmitting and processing bogus packets are a waste of both computational and network resources. The procedures defined in this document assume that the Media Distributor will properly convey DTLS messages between the endpoint and Key Distributor. Should it fail in that responsibility by forwarding DTLS messages from endpoint A advertised as being from endpoint B, this will result in a failure at the DTLS layer of those DTLS sessions. This could be an additional attack vector that Key Distributor implementations should consider. While E2E keying material passes through the Media Distributor via the protocol defined in this document, the Media Distributor has no means of gaining access to that information and therefore cannot affect the E2E media processing function in the endpoint except to present it with invalid or replayed data. That said, any entity along the path that interferes with the DTLS exchange between the endpoint and the Key Distributor, including a malicious Media Distributor that is not properly authorized, could prevent an endpoint from properly communicating with the Key Distributor and therefore prevent successful conference participation. It is worth noting that a compromised Media Distributor can convey information to an adversary, such as participant IP addresses, negotiated protection profiles, or other metadata. While explains that a malicious or compromised Media Distributor can disrupt communications, an additional attack vector introduced by this protocol is the potential disruption of DTLS negotiation or premature removal of a participant from a conference by sending an EndpointDisconnect message to the Key Distributor. The Key Distributor should be aware of the possibility that a malicious Media Distributor might transmit an EndpointDisconnect message to the Key Distributor when the endpoint is in fact still connected. While the Security Considerations section of describes various attacks one needs to consider with respect to the Key Distributor and denial of service, use of this protocol introduces another possible attack vector. Consider the case where a malicious endpoint sends unsolicited DTLS-SRTP messages to a Media Distributor. The Media Distributor will normally forward those messages to the Key Distributor and, if found invalid, such messages only serve to consume resources on both the Media Distributor and Key Distributor.

References Normative References In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. This document describes the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), a profile of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), which can provide confidentiality, message authentication, and replay protection to the RTP traffic and to the control traffic for RTP, the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP). [STANDARDS-TRACK] This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name namespace for UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifier), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifier). A UUID is 128 bits long, and can guarantee uniqueness across space and time. UUIDs were originally used in the Apollo Network Computing System and later in the Open Software Foundation\'s (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), and then in Microsoft Windows platforms. This specification is derived from the DCE specification with the kind permission of the OSF (now known as The Open Group). Information from earlier versions of the DCE specification have been incorporated into this document. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document describes a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) extension to establish keys for Secure RTP (SRTP) and Secure RTP Control Protocol (SRTCP) flows. DTLS keying happens on the media path, independent of any out-of-band signalling channel present. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document specifies how to establish secure connection-oriented media transport sessions over the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol using the Session Description Protocol (SDP). It defines the SDP protocol identifier, 'TCP/TLS'. It also defines the syntax and semantics for an SDP 'fingerprint' attribute that identifies the certificate that will be presented for the TLS session. This mechanism allows media transport over TLS connections to be established securely, so long as the integrity of session descriptions is assured. This document obsoletes RFC 4572 by clarifying the usage of multiple fingerprints. RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations. In some conferencing scenarios, it is desirable for an intermediary to be able to manipulate some parameters in Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets, while still providing strong end-to-end security guarantees. This document defines a cryptographic transform for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) that uses two separate but related cryptographic operations to provide hop-by-hop and end-to-end security guarantees. Both the end-to-end and hop-by-hop cryptographic algorithms can utilize an authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithm or take advantage of future SRTP transforms with different properties. This document defines the Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer procedures for negotiating and establishing a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) association. The document also defines the criteria for when a new DTLS association must be established. The document updates RFCs 5763 and 7345 by replacing common SDP offer/answer procedures with a reference to this specification. This document defines a new SDP media-level attribute, "tls-id". This document also defines how the "tls-id" attribute can be used for negotiating and establishing a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection, in conjunction with the procedures in RFCs 4145 and 8122. This document describes unknown key-share attacks on the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security for the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (DTLS-SRTP). Similar attacks are described on the use of DTLS-SRTP with the identity bindings used in Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) and SIP identity. These attacks are difficult to mount, but they cause a victim to be misled about the identity of a communicating peer. This document defines mitigation techniques that implementations of RFC 8122 are encouraged to deploy. This document describes a solution framework for ensuring that media confidentiality and integrity are maintained end to end within the context of a switched conferencing environment where Media Distributors are not trusted with the end-to-end media encryption keys. The solution builds upon existing security mechanisms defined for the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). Informative References This document defines a mechanism by which two entities can make use of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to arrive at a common view of a multimedia session between them. In the model, one participant offers the other a description of the desired session from their perspective, and the other participant answers with the desired session from their perspective. This offer/answer model is most useful in unicast sessions where information from both participants is needed for the complete view of the session. The offer/answer model is used by protocols like the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). [STANDARDS-TRACK] This memorandum describes RTP, the real-time transport protocol. RTP provides end-to-end network transport functions suitable for applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video or simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services. RTP does not address resource reservation and does not guarantee quality-of- service for real-time services. The data transport is augmented by a control protocol (RTCP) to allow monitoring of the data delivery in a manner scalable to large multicast networks, and to provide minimal control and identification functionality. RTP and RTCP are designed to be independent of the underlying transport and network layers. The protocol supports the use of RTP-level translators and mixers. Most of the text in this memorandum is identical to RFC 1889 which it obsoletes. There are no changes in the packet formats on the wire, only changes to the rules and algorithms governing how the protocol is used. The biggest change is an enhancement to the scalable timer algorithm for calculating when to send RTCP packets in order to minimize transmission in excess of the intended rate when many participants join a session simultaneously. [STANDARDS-TRACK] Many protocols make use of points of extensibility that use constants to identify various protocol parameters. To ensure that the values in these fields do not have conflicting uses and to promote interoperability, their allocations are often coordinated by a central record keeper. For IETF protocols, that role is filled by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). To make assignments in a given registry prudently, guidance describing the conditions under which new values should be assigned, as well as when and how modifications to existing values can be made, is needed. This document defines a framework for the documentation of these guidelines by specification authors, in order to assure that the provided guidance for the IANA Considerations is clear and addresses the various issues that are likely in the operation of a registry. This is the third edition of this document; it obsoletes RFC 5226. This memo defines the Session Description Protocol (SDP). SDP is intended for describing multimedia sessions for the purposes of session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation. This document obsoletes RFC 4566.
