The current authentication mechanism for TURN, which is reused from STUN, has been designed with a SIP account database in mind. The new RTCWEB usages, which are mostly based on web applications, do not fit that model. A new authentication mechanism optimized for such web applications will be created. Milestone 2a: Problem analysis Candidate draft: draft-reddy-behave-turn-auth Milestone 2b: Solution(s) Candidate drafts: draft-uberti-behave-turn-rest, draft-johnston-tram-stun-origin, maybe a draft based on OAuth I would see this milestone fulfilled in two parts: problem analysis and then solution(s). One question the WG will have to answer is whether we need more than one solution. Are the proposed solutions solving different aspects of the problem, or can one solution solve all problems? Depending on the answer we will end up adopting one or more drafts to fully solve the problem. As far as I am concerned, as see this also as top priority. We should first get consensus on the problem analysis, which could be done quickly (before Toronto I would hope). Then work on solution(s) could take more time.
