This document describes requirements for a protocol to negotiate a
security context for SIP-signaled Secure RTP (SRTP) media.  In
addition to the natural security requirements, this negotiation
protocol must interoperate well with SIP in certain ways.  A number
of proposals have been published and a summary of these proposals is
in the appendix of this document.  This memo provides information 
for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Session Initiation Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
