Re: [dispatch] Dispatch of SFrame for End-To-End Encrypted Conference Calls

Hi,

I find this proposal interesting since the issue of key distribution in multipoint conferences is a problem even if the media mixer (any topology) is a trusted entity and wants to distribute the encrypted media without doing decrypt/encrypt cycle.  One point to look at is that in the past when we designed RFC5764 (DTLS/SRTP) the consensus was that key exchange must be done in-band. 

As far as I remember one of the motivation point for EKT in AVT was to address the key distribution for multipoint conferences. 

As for the work, if there is a consensus to accept this work, it will require support for RTP. How to signal that this is such a payload and what should be the RTP PT in the RTP header. (how to negotiate what is the secure payload inside the SFRAME)

On one hand it may look like a new RTP payload (similar to MPEG2 RTP payload (RFC2250)) and as such is in scope for AVTCore but as for the framework I think this is not AVTCore work.

Hi All -

I failed to note the link highlighting in Emad's mail to the list which already contained the draft. Sorry about that. (It's https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-omara-sframe-00 if you too missed it).

There's also a github and mailing list referenced:
https://github.com/eomara/sframe
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/sframe/?

[I've also forked the Subject Line to help interested readers]

Sounds really interesting Emad and there's obviously related work going on (at least perc, maybe even mls..).

Sending that email Ben mentions to the dispatch list to raise awareness with a link to the draft would be helpful in getting the process started..

Hi Ben,

This draft proposes a solution for end-to-end encrypted conference calls. We implemented this in Google a couple of years ago in Duo, but the draft was only published last month given the current interest in the topic.

The goal of the session is to go through the proposal and see if there is interest to continue working on this, and if so what will be the best WG to host this work. 

Thanks

Emad

Hi Emad,

We prioritize DISPATCH meeting time to focus on topics that have had DISPATCH list discussion and need high-bandwidth time to resolve. Unless I’ve missed something, this topic has not previously come up in DISPATCH. I suggest sending a note to this list with some background about the draft and how you would like to see it progress.

Thanks!

Ben.

Hi,

We would like to have a session in the next IETF to discuss the SFrame draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-omara-sframe-00>  Can you please help scheduling this?

Thanks

Emad
