History-Info – 2 options for Robust Security


draft-ietf-sip-identity-02:
Redirect ONLY in the case of retargeting “to a domain for which the processing entity is not responsible”
Scenario is a corner case and not the most likely one involving History-Info, thus impact is likely less than perceived.
Seems to put a large burden on points of Interworking and UAC, rather than the intermediary. May be difficult to make backwards compatible.
Obviates the need for intermediary involvement and a transitive trust model.






2. draft-ietf-mahy-sipping-add-body:
Proposes to “relax” restriction that proxies cannot add message bodies to allow securing information added by intermediaries.
Provides a general purpose mechanism, thus avoiding the requirement to define P-headers for cases where this functionality is useful.
Doesn’t entirely resolve the “robust” security problem for History-Info - another intermediary needs to unpack to access index (transitive model)
Facilitates Interworking
