If you think people in the military or in prisons do not use web browsers, think again. Requiring secure communications will prevent them from using WebRTC. Furthermore comparison between HTTP/HTTPS and RTP/SRTP in not entirely appropriate. HTTPS communications are reasonably secure. SRTP calls, unless we make identity management a requirement for WebRTC, are only giving people a false sense of security. The fact that browser uses SRTP does not, in any way, imply that the communication is secure. If the key was delivered over HTTP, anybody intercepting your IP traffic can listen to it. If we are dealing with the server based attack then all hell breaks loose. So, unless we requiring that only connections are over DTLS-SRTP using an SDP signed by a verified remote party are allowed, we allow unsecure connections. We need to show an appropriate warning for all of them, and warning RTP vs SDES-SRTP vs unsigned DTLS-SRTP should not be very different. It should say "You are trying to communicate over unsecure peer--to-peer channel with an unknown party. Continue?" There is no, "you are trying to use slightly more secure channel. Is this ok?". _____________ Roman Shpount
