Abstract

Defines an authenticated encryption scheme for objects transmitted via moq-transport. Publishers sharing symmetric keys with end subscribers can prevent relays from decrypting content. Subscribers can verify object integrity and authenticity.

Key Properties

  • E2E encryption: Relays cannot read object content
  • Integrity verification: Subscribers verify objects came from the claimed publisher
  • Publisher control: Publishers decide whether relays can access or modify MOQT parameters
  • Symmetric keys: Key distribution is out of scope but key sharing between publisher and subscriber is required

Replaces

This draft (draft-ietf-moq-secure-objects-00) replaces the individual draft draft-jennings-moq-secure-objects, now adopted as a WG document.
