This annex describes security for H.323 Annex F simple endpoint types. The specified security profile is based upon recommendation H.235v2 and uses the featured baseline security profile of H.235 Annex D. The shown security profile in H.323 Annex J adopts recommendation H.235 for the purpose of simple endpoint types and their specific security requirements. The security profile selects appropriate security features from H.235 with its rich set of options.
The described text provides an overview on the security profile; H.235v2 Annex D provides all the technical and implementations details.
Basically, a security simple endpoint type (security SET) is a SET as defined by H.323 Annex F that implements additionally certain security features of this annex.
Currently, this annex focuses only on a “secure audio SET (SASET)” and leaves any other security simple endpoint types (e.g.; secure FAX SET, secure text terminal, secure Video SET etc) for further study.
This annex closes the open issue of security for SETs that was left for further study in chapter 8 of H.323 Annex F.
