Re: [rtcweb] Consensus call regarding media security

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

WG, EKR

The deadline for this call of consensus has ended. I note that there has
been discussion of a number of details and additional views on the
actual consensus statement made. Some supporting the consensus from the
meeting room and some opposing it. In the end I determine that the two
consensus statements are confirmed:

 The first was that there was overwhelming consensus that all RTP
 packets SHALL be protected by SRTP.

 Secondly that no one objected against making DTLS-SRTP a mandatory to
 implement and the default keying mechanism. Additional mechanisms are
 not precluded.

>From the discussion in the thread I would note the following:

1) Null cipher for encryption is strongly desired but an actual proposal
is needed for how to express this.

2) Details of the SRTP and DTLS-SRTP usage in this WG needs to be
defined. This is for continued discussion. I hope our editor of the
security architecture can make a proposal to the WG to consider.

3) The discussion of additional keying mechanisms such as Security
Descriptions and Encrypted Key Transport will continue.

Cheers

Magnus
