[dan_york at Mitel.com]

VOIPSEC readers,

FYI, I just saw this note that 'sdescriptions' (about which we have 
frequently talked here) is now officially out as RFC 4568.   Congrats to 
Dan Wing, Flemming Andreasen and Mark Baugher for getting the document 
through the whole IETF process!  Nice to see it is no longer just an 
internet-draft...

This document defines a Session Description Protocol (SDP)
cryptographic attribute for unicast media streams.  The attribute
describes a cryptographic key and other parameters that serve to
configure security for a unicast media stream in either a single
message or a roundtrip exchange.  The attribute can be used with a
variety of SDP media transports, and this document defines how to use
it for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) unicast media
streams.  The SDP crypto attribute requires the services of a data
security protocol to secure the SDP message.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
