SIP presently has means to 'prove' the identity of the calling party
sip-identity [1] which supplies a new header (and some hash/signing). While
it is presently in ID, it is header to RFC editor queue.

It would be for the SIP WG to draft a binding of 'dix' with sip-identity,
IMHO. At least for the purposes laid out in the above use case.
