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). To the person
using a SIP phone to call another SIP phone, how do they know that
they can trust the identity of the caller on the other end? If we
solve the various issues we are discussing related to RFC 4474, P-A-I,
etc., what might the end user experience look like?
As I note in the draft, it's not entirely clear to me that the IETF is
the appropriate body to address this question. It's more of a "user
interface" question that is more about how to have users adopt/accept
a SIP feature and feels to me like it's something more appropriate for
a more vendor-centric "industry consortium" type of entity. Something
like the SIP Forum or some other similar entity. I'm certainly open
to comments and feedback along those lines... In the meantime, I
thought I'd at least throw something out there for discussion.
Thanks,
Dan
