[OpenSIPS-Users] UpenSIPS and sips

Hi Inaki, if you keep reading in section 4 of the same draft you refer to
you see that the new way to do address the problems in RFC3261 with the last
hop exception is to use TLS all the way.

And this actually is a problem in some cases if you want to use SRTP then
the encryption keys will be wide open on the receiving domain.

Hi Bogdan, take a look to this draft:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-sips-08

Specially section "3.3.  The Problems with the Meaning of SIPS in RFC 3261".

RFC 3261 section 19.1 says:

      "A SIPS URI specifies that the resource be contacted securely.
      This means, in particular, that TLS is to be used between the UAC
      and the domain that owns the URI.  From there, secure
      communications are used to reach the user, where the specific
      security mechanism depends on the policy of the domain."

The above draft says that, when using draft-outbound it's "more" possible to

have a full hop-by-hop TLS, but AFAIK nobody mandates it. The final decision

is done by the proxy responsible for the AoR.

Regards.
