As far as I know, these solutions rely mostly on centralized
authentication authority, or adhoc approaches.
Using SAML with P2P SIP allows to include a broad category of
authentication solutions: centralized or decentralized approaches like
the web of trust approaches, this what I tried to introduce in my
paper (Trust Management in Peer-to-Peer SIP Using the Security
Assertion Markup Language).
The draft (draft-ietf-sip-saml-06.txt) defines a profile SAML to be
used with SIP, but the daft does not define a profile to be used with
P2P SIP.
