RFC 5360: A Framework for Consent-Based Communications in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8217. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

SIP supports communications for several services, including real-time audio, video, text, instant messaging, and presence. In its current form, it allows session invitations, instant messages, and other requests to be delivered from one party to another without requiring explicit consent of the recipient. Without such consent, it is possible for SIP to be used for malicious purposes, including amplification and DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. This document identifies a framework for consent-based communications in SIP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
