Abstract
A Network Asserted Identity is an identity initially derived by a
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network intermediary as a result of
an authentication process. This document describes short term
requirements for the exchange of Network Asserted Identities within
networks of securely interconnected trusted nodes and to User Agents
securely connected to such networks.
There is no requirement for identities asserted by a UA in a SIP
message to be anything other than the user's desired alias.
