Abstract
This document describes the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol
(SRTP), a profile of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), which
can provide confidentiality, message authentication, and replay
protection to the RTP traffic and to the control traffic for RTP, the
Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP).

8.1.1. Use of the What protocol does SRTP use?The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is a security framework that extends the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and allows a suite of crypto mechanisms. WebRTC uses DTLS-SRTP to add encryption, message authentication and integrity, and replay attack protection.
What type of communications is SRTP most likely to be used for?SRTP is a secure version of the Real-Time Transport Protocol and is used primarily for Voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia streaming or broadcast.
What protocol is used to establish a secure RTP transmission?RTP is generally used with a signaling protocol, such as SIP, which sets up connections across the network. RTP applications can use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), but most use the User Datagram protocol (UDP) instead because UDP allows for faster delivery of data.
Which type of communication is the RTP protocol primarily used for?RTP is used in communication and entertainment systems that involve streaming media, such as telephony, video teleconference applications including WebRTC, television services and web-based push-to-talk features. RTP typically runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
