Abstract

This memo describes the security framework for the Instant Messaging and Presence Protocols. It identifies the entities that use IMPP protocol elements, the trust relationships between them, security threats that are against which defence is to be provided, and the consequent security responsibilities of the active entities. Specific cryptographic and other security mechanisms are NOT defined here. NOTE: The security framework for IMPP is inherently bound up with the IMPP protocol design, and this memo is expected to evolve as decisions are made about the protocol design. In its current form, this memo makes some assumptions about the IMPP structure that must be reviewed as design proceeds.
