Technical Summary:
Opportunistic Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (OSRTP) is an
implementation of the Opportunistic Security mechanism, as defined
in RFC 7435, applied to Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). OSRTP
allows encrypted media to be used in environments where support
for encryption is not known in advance, and not required. OSRTP
does not require SDP extensions or features and is fully backwards
compatible with existing implementations using encrypted and
authenticated media and implementations that do not encrypt or
authenticate media packets. OSRTP is not specific to any key
management technique for SRTP. OSRTP is a transitional approach
useful for migrating existing deployments of real-time
communications to a fully encrypted and authenticated state.
