Hello, An issue arose during RFC Editor review of draft-ietf-mmusic- sdescriptions-12 just prior to publication. An Internet Draft document, Security Preconditions, appears among the Normative references. The authors did not intend for it to be a Normative reference; it should have been in the Informative References section. Still, this triggered a review and discussion. Before proceeding to publication, the chairs and ADs wish for the WG to consider some of the issues of publishing draft-ietf-mmusic- sdescriptions without Security Preconditions. SDP security descriptions (sdesc) as defined in draft-ietf-mmusic- sdescriptions-12.txt is designed to support a variety of signaling protocols that use SDP. One of the most important is SIP. The way sdesc is defined, an answer has to be received before incoming media can be processed correctly by the offerer; this is unavoidable in cases where there are multiple crypto suites among the SDP offers. Without the answer, there is no way to determine which crypto offer has been selected by an answerer that sends media upon receiving the first SDP message. This is a problem whenever media commences prior to receipt of the SDP answer. The authors recognized this problem while working on the sdesc specification, and as a result, two of the authors wrote Security Preconditions (see draft-ietf-mmusic-securityprecondition-01.txt). However not everyone in the SIP community likes preconditions due to the added state machine complexity and signaling latency. The current sdesc merely offers security preconditions as one possible solution, however it incorrectly lists it as a Normative reference. One alternative has already been offered (draft-wing-mmusic-sdes- early-media-00.txt) and at least one more extension to sdesc to address these issues is in the works. In lieu of the above, the authors would like to change the current Normative reference to security preconditions to be an Informative reference instead. There is a concern, however, that with such a change, we would not have a complete normative solution for SIP. So, we're asking the WG members for comments. draft-ietf-mmusic- sdescriptions-12.txt has finished last call in the WG and the IESG, but the document that completed last call relied upon security preconditions, which may not be the ultimate solution. We would like to know if anyone in the WG objects to progressing this I-D without security preconditions being normative and without another normative solution to address the above issues. If you object, please speak up and let us know what the normative solution should be. Thanks, Mark, Flemming & Dan _______________________________________________ mmusic mailing list mmusic@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mmusic
