This document describes the Secure Frame (SFrame) end-to-end
encryption and authentication mechanism for media frames in a
multiparty conference call, in which central media servers (Selective
Forwarding Units or SFUs) can access the media metadata needed to
make forwarding decisions without having access to the actual media.

This mechanism differs from the Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP) in
that it is independent of RTP (thus compatible with non-RTP media
transport) and can be applied to whole media frames in order to be
more bandwidth efficient.

This document is a product of the Secure Media Frames Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
