Abstract
This specification defines how to use Datagram Transport Layer
Security (DTLS) as a transport for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
DTLS is a protocol for providing Transport Layer Security (TLS)
security over a datagram protocol. This specification also specifies
the IANA registrations for using SIP with Datagram Congestion Control
Protocol (DCCP).

Internet-Draft SIP over DTLS Feb 2007
1. Introduction
Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) [2] provides communication
privacy similar to TLS [1] for datagram packets. SIP can run over
both stream and datagram transports, including UDP and TCP. SIP [4]
already defines how to use TLS with stream oriented transports. This
specification extends SIP to use DTLS with datagram oriented
transports.
There has been considerable discussion of why SIP needs DTLS when we
have TLS. This is the wrong question. The right question is how
does SIP secure UDP. The dominant technique for providing security
for SIP/TCP is TLS. Given that SIP/UDP is not likely to disappear
any time soon, this leaves us with two options:
1. Leave UDP users without a channel-level security mechanism; or
2. Provide SIP/UDP users with an alternate security mechanism.
The obvious approach to the second option is to use DTLS, which
provides UDP with a level of channel security equivalent to that
which TLS provides for TCP.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [5].
3. Transport Parameters
SIP URIs can carry a transport parameter indicating the transport
protocol to be used. This specification defines two new values for
the transport parameter: "dtls-udp" for the SIP URI transport
parameter to be used for messages sent using DTLS over UDP, and
"dtls-dccp" for messages sent using DTLS over DCCP. The update to
the ABNF[3] in RFC 3261 for this parameter is the following:
transport-param = "transport="
( "udp" / "tcp" / "sctp" / "tls" / "tls-sctp"
"dtls-dccp" / "dtls-udp"
/ other-transport)
The following is an example of SIP URIs using "dtls-udp":
sip:alice@example.com;transport=dtls-udp

Internet-Draft SIP over DTLS Feb 2007
Via header fields also carry a transport protocol identifier. This
specification extends RFC 3261 to define the value "DTLS-UDP" for
DTLS over UDP and "DTLS-DCCP" for DTLS over DCCP. The update to the
ABNF in RFC 3261 for this parameter is the following:
transport = "UDP" / "TCP" / "TLS" / "SCTP" / "TLS-SCTP"
"DTLS-DCCP" / "DTLS-UDP"
/ other-transport
The following is an example Via header field:
Via: SIP/2.0/DTLS-UDP atlanta.example.com:5060
4. DTLS Usage
The normal rules for sending a request over UDP in RFC 3261 apply to
sending over DTLS. Note that the congestion safety rules for UDP do
not apply to DCCP. In addition, the normal rules for validating a
TLS connection in RFC 3261 apply to DTLS connections. Requests with
a SIPS URI can be sent over DTLS as well as TLS.
5. Locating DTLS SIP Servers
The normal rules from RFC 3263 [6] apply when locating a SIP server
that supports DTLS. The following new NAPTR[7] service values are
defined: "SIPS+D2U" for UDP, and "SIPS+D2D" for DCCP[9]. In
addition, the service value "SIP+D2D" should be used for SIP without
DTLS over DCCP.
The default port for DTLS over UDP or DCCP is 5061.
6. Security Considerations
The security issues with SIP using DTLS are equivalent to the issues
of using SIP with TLS. All the security considerations in RFC 3261
relevant to TLS apply to DTLS.
7. IANA Considerations
The IANA is requested to update the following entry to the "SIP/SIPS
URI Parameters" registry. The reference to this RFC should appear in
double-brackets and be appended to the list of references already
listed on for the transport parameter, as indicated in RFC 3969 [8].
The result is shown below:

Parameter Name Predefined Values Reference
-------------- ----------------- ---------
transport Yes [RFC3261] [[RFCXXXX]]
This document also defines new NAPTR service field values. The IANA
is requested to register these values under the "Registry for the SIP
SRV Resource Record Services Field". The resulting entries should
be:
Services Field Protocol Reference
-------------------- -------- ---------
SIPS+D2U UDP [RFCXXXX]
SIPS+D2D DCCP [RFCXXXX]
SIP+D2D DCCP [RFCXXXX]
[Note to IANA: Please replace XXXX with the RFC number of this
specification.]
