Dear all,

As you may have noticed draft-mattsson-mikey-ticket-05 was approved by the IESG yesterday. I just want to point out that the Document Quality information in the Document Action mail is incorrect. The Document Action mail that was sent out on the IETF Announcements list wrongfully states: 

------------------------------------------------------------

Document Quality

There are no existing implementations of the protocol, but the protocol is one option under consideration by 3GPP. 

------------------------------------------------------------

The protocol is not one option under consideration by 3GPP. It has been chosen by 3GPP for high security e2e media security in IMS. The document 3GPP TS 33.328 has already been approved by the SA plenary (similar to IESG and the last step in the 3GPP process).

During the development of the draft, we implemented the protocol according to the profiling in 3GPP TS 33.328 and used it to secure video calls in an IMS system. The implementation led to that a couple of implementation details unclarities were fixed and gave input to several enhancements (included in the current draft).

Best Regards
John
