Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document extends PASSporT, a token for conveying
   cryptographically-signed call information about personal
   communications, to include rich meta-data about a call and caller
   that can be signed and integrity protected, transmitted, and
   subsequently rendered to the called party.  This framework is
   intended to include and extend caller and call specific information
   beyond human-readable display name comparable to the "Caller ID"
   function common on the telephone network and is also enhanced with a
   integrity mechanism that is designed to protect the authoring and
   transport of this information for different authoritative use-cases.
