[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

FYI,

We will use the PERC list from here on for this type of discussion.

Cheers

Yes, I am willing to give it an initial shot.


Sep 2016  Submit architecture or framework specification to IESG 
(Standards Track)

Jan 2017 Submit documentation of how to integrate solution in SIP, 
WebRTC and CLUE to IESG (Informational)

Jun 2017  Submit SRTP protocol extension specification to IESG 
(Standards Track)

Jun 2017  Submit Key-management protocol specification to IESG 
(Standards Track)

I know people see this as quite urgent, but we actually appear to have 
quite a lot to discuss on how it should work and be solved. Then we must 
show due dillegence in getting the pieces well specified and well 
reviewed and tested. Thus, I think 2 years is not at all uncalled for, 
unfortunately.

Yes, I think it is a goal. I would propose that we enter into the WG 
objectives the following sentence:

The meta information provided to the central device is to be limited to 
the minimal required for it to perform its function to preserve the 
conference participants' privacy.


The full paragraph would then read:

WG Objectives

This WG will work on a solution that enables centralized SRTP-based 
conferencing, where the central device distributing the media is not 
required to be trusted with the keys to decrypt the participants’ media. 
The media must be kept confidential and authenticated between an 
originating endpoint and the explicitly allowed receiving endpoints or 
other devices. The meta information provided to the central device is to 
be limited to the minimal required for it to perform its function to 
preserve the conference participants privacy. Further, it is desired 
that a solution still provides replay protection, so that the media 
distribution devices can’t replay previous parts of the media.


Opinions on that.

Please respond quickly.
