Audio and slides for RTPSEC BOF at IETF66 in July in Montreal

Back in Blue Box #41, listener Miguel Garcia sent in the links to the RTPSEC BOF sessions at the IETF66 meeting in Montreal, Canada, in July 2006.  I meant at the time to include them in the show notes – and have now done so – but thought I would also include these links here for people who might not revisit show #41:

Note that this was the session in Montreal where the IETF attendees were trying to get to the requirements necessary for securing the RTP media stream.  The eventual outcome of that session was an Internet-Draft on media security requirements that was discussed at the IETF 67 meeting last week in San Diego, California.  (No word yet on the outcome of that discussion.)

Thanks, Miguel, for sending in those links – and my apologies for the delay in getting the links posted.

NOTE: This episode’s severe laughter can only be attributed to the very strong cup of tea Dan purchased somewhere near the VT border while driving to Ottawa in the dark and heavy rain. It is very different from any other show we’ve done before – and probably will do in the future.
