Access Control for Networked Appliances
Nokia
The use of the SIP protocol for controlling Networked Appliances (NA) has been proposed in several recent IETF drafts including [1] and [2]. The issue of controlling access to NAs from a remote device is paramount, especially in the context of NAs in the home. This draft investigates the issue of where the access rules must be stored and executed to control access to an NA. The use of proxy gateways within the home domain and their resultant impact on communication pathways between the remote device and the NAs have been studied.
