Technical Summary

   The SIP Identity header conveys cryptographic identity information
   about the originators of SIP requests.  However, the Secure Telephone
   Identity Revisited (STIR) framework provides no means for determining
   the identity of the called party in a traditional telephone calling
   scenario.  This document updates prior guidance to reflect changes to
   SIP Identity that accompanied STIR, and offers a way to tell the
   originator the "connected identity".  That is, the telephone number of
   the party that answered the call, even if the call was retargeted to
   party trying to impersonate the intended destination.

Working Group Summary

  The STIR WG reached consensus, and there is support for
  publication of this document as a standards-track RFC.

Document Quality

  Several people have expressed interest in implementing this
  specification.

Personnel

  Russ Housley is the Document Shepherd.
  Orie Steele is the Responsible Area Director.
