The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5764,
"Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Extension to Establish Keys for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5764&eid=4788

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>

Section: 5.3

Original Text
-------------
Section 4.2 says:
   which are assigned as shown below.  The per-association context value
   is empty.

Corrected Text
--------------
   which are assigned as shown below.  No per-association context value
   is used.

Notes
-----
This code is somewhat ambiguous, though the better interpretation is probably that you should use a zero-length context (arm 2 of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5705#section-4). However, real implementations do not seem to use the exporter value, so we need to resolve this in that direction.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
