[Sipping] SPAM, consent & their requirements



All,
 
It's been some time (last message dates back to 25th of July) since the drafts related to the Consent framework, its requirements and SIP SPAM were discussed on this list. A brief look at the pending drafts overview shows that several are waiting for this work to finish.
 
Assuming there is still interest in this, I have a question (or rather observation) for discussion:
I think a difference between SPAM and a DoS attack is, that SPAM can be addressed by preventing delivery to the end user, while a DoS attack requires prevention of delivery to the end user's device. Obviously the latter accomplishes the former, so a consent framework that prevents delivery to the device also prevents SPAM
 
My question is: are any more "lightweight" solutions being considered that would perhaps not solve DoS attacks but could help prevent SPAM?
I could think of some (perhaps obvious) approaches such as an endpoint-based whitelist using requestor Identity or (if not available) a shared secret per buddy
 
Regards,
 
Jeroen
