Re: [Sip] On the need for a visual identifier of trusted identity - Fwd: I-D Action:draft-york-sip-visual-identifier-trusted-identity-00.txt

So after writing my response to Paul Kyzivat's response to Cullen, I
thought about it some more and realized that I ought to collect those
thoughts into an I-D, which I have now submitted. I did so primarily
because I haven't really seen discussion of the end user's *experience*
of working with "trusted identity" (if I missed such a discussion,
please feel free to point it out to me).
Dan: A while ago -- maybe early last year -- we had a great
big thread on the idea of showing a locked padlock to impart
the notion of a secure call. This discussion was in the
context of the sipsec URI draft (see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gurbani-sip-sipsec-01). The
allegory we adopted, which is also discussed in the draft, was
that of a "hopping bunny with a lock in its mouth" (as a
tribute to SIP's hop-by-hop security model.) In any case,
among other discussions that resulted in the thread were
reasons why this is not completely attainable (although at that
time, the work on dtls-srtp was not as advanced as it is now.)
The draft is a good starting point that distills a lot of
the discussion that preceded it, so it may be worth a read.
I will attempt to find the threaded discussion in the mailing
list archives and send you a link to it tomorrow.
Ciao.
