Cryptographic Context</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>SRTP library generates SRTP packets from the RTP or RTCP stream and forwards

the packets to the receiver. SRTP transforms incoming SRTP packets to RTP/RTCP

packets and passes them up the stack. The cryptographic state information

associated with each SRTP stream is termed the cryptographic context. The

state information is maintained by both the sender and receiver of SRTP streams. </p>

<p>A cryptographic context includes a session key used in encryption and message

authentication. A cryptographic context also includes a securely exchanged

random bit string used to derive session keys called the master key. In addition

to the session and master key the cryptographic context includes other working

session parameters. </p>

context is created. </p> <p>The cryptographic context can be used by a SRTP

session or Stream. In other words, the cryptographic context is owned by the

session or stream. </p> <p>The master keys and the master salt are always

owned by the cryptographic context. </p> </section>
