Technical Summary
The Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) framework defines
means of carrying its Persona Assertion Tokens (PASSporTs) either in-
band, within the headers of a SIP request, or out-of-band, through a
service that stores PASSporTs for retrieval by relying parties. This
specification defines a way that the out-of-band conveyance of
PASSporTs can be used to support large service providers, for cases
in which in-band STIR conveyance is not universally available.
Working Group Summary
The consensus was mainly among a small group of individuals, but that is
mostly standard operating procedure for the STIR working groups. Active
participants comprise a small number of industry experts.
