Hi all,

I am currently investigating how to control secure RTP sessions originating
from one of our new media server products. My main direction of research is
in discovering what mechanism we should be using in order that connected SIP
devices exchange master keys. So far, I have encountered two orthogonal
bodies of information:

1. MIKEY (RFC3830)
2. SDES (draft-ietf-mmusic-sdescriptions-12.txt)   

>From my interpretation of this, two differing schemes are being presented,
one (MIKEY) proposing that key exchange is implemented using an additional
protocol - MIKEY and the another (SDES) which proposes that SIP/SDP be used
to negotiate/exchange crypto parameters.

Is my above assessment, i.e. the two different schemes, correct?

If so, do any of the posters to this group know which of these schemes is
most likely to be implemented in the majority of SIP devices? All opinions
would be welcomed, since for our product we'd like to avoid implementing any
necessary protocols.

thanks,
