Certificate Management Service for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Abstract
This document defines a credential service that allows Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) User Agents (UAs) to use a SIP event
package to discover the certificates of other users. This mechanism
allows User Agents that want to contact a given Address-of-Record
(AOR) to retrieve that AOR's certificate by subscribing to the
credential service, which returns an authenticated response
containing that certificate. The credential service also allows
users to store and retrieve their own certificates and private keys.
