Re: [MMUSIC] Draft new: draft-holmberg-mmusic-t140-usage-data-channel

[Gunnar Hellström <[e-mail]>]

I want to add one issue for the security section: Can we specify a way 
to achieve end-to-end encryption of T.140 data between a WebRTC endpoint 
and a traditional SIP/RFC 4103 endpoint through a gateway? I know that 
that is a desired feature.
