RFC 5159 OMA BCAST SDP Attributes March 2008
1. Introduction
The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Broadcast (BCAST) group is specifying
service and content protection mechanisms for broadcast services over
wireless networks. As part of that specification, several new SDP
attributes are necessary to allow the broadcast server to signal the
service and content protection parameters to clients.
Section 8.2.4 of RFC 4566 [1] requires that new SDP attributes are
registered through IANA with name, contact information, and
description (and other similar parameters). A standards track
specification is RECOMMENDED if the new attribute(s) will have
widespread use and interoperability considerations.
OMA BCAST specifications are expected to be used by broadcast
wireless systems that are based on 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS), 3GPP2 Broadcast
and Multicast Services (BCMCS), and Digital Video Broadcasting -
Handheld (DVB-H). Although this would typically be considered a
"widespread" use, in this case IETF chose to use a non-standards-
track RFC to register the SDP attributes because OMA maintains change
control of the documents that specify the interpretation of the
values in the attributes.
This document provides descriptions of the SDP attributes used in the
OMA BCAST Service and Content Protection specification [2].
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [3].
3. New SDP Attributes
The following new SDP attributes have been specified:
o a=bcastversion:.
o a=stkmstream:
o a=SRTPAuthentication:
o a=SRTPROCTxRate:
See Section 5 for details on IANA considerations.

RFC 5159 OMA BCAST SDP Attributes March 2008
4. Security Considerations
In addition to the notes in Section 7 of RFC 4566 [1], the following
considerations may be applicable:
The bcastversion parameter indicates the version of the broadcast
system used for distribution of broadcast content. In case future
versions indicated by this parameter allow for enhanced or additional
security features, the bcastversion parameter, if unprotected, could
be utilized for downgrade attacks.
The stkmstream parameter provides references to relevant key
management streams so that receivers can map the media streams to key
streams and retrieve the necessary keys to decrypt media. As such,
this parameter could be utilized, if unprotected, for denial-of-
service (DoS) attacks.
5. IANA Considerations
Per this document, which follows the guidelines of [5], IANA has
registered a number of SDP attributes.
5.1. Registration of New SDP Attributes
IANA has registered a number of OMA BCAST only attributes in the
Session Description Protocol Parameters registry [1]. The
registration data, according to RFC 4566 [1] follows.
The registration templates below refer to the OMA-TS-
BCAST_SvcCntProtection specification [2].
5.1.1. Registration of the Attribute bcastversion:.
Contact: Anja Jerichow
Phone: +49 89 636-45868
Attribute name: bcastversion
Long-form attribute name: BCAST version
Type of attribute: session level
This attribute is not dependent on charset.
Dondeti & Jerichow Informational [Page 3]
RFC 5159 OMA BCAST SDP Attributes March 2008
Purpose: This attribute specifies the OMA BCAST version
"bcastversion" value in the format x.y.
Specification of attribute values: This attribute has a mandatory
value of the form ., where and are
non-negative decimal numbers. The att-value field is of XML data
type decimal. For details, see OMA-TS-BCAST_SvcCntProtection,
Section 10.1.1.
5.1.2. Registration of the Attribute stkmstream:
Contact: Anja Jerichow
Phone: +49 89 636-45868
Attribute name: stkmstream
Long-form attribute name: Short Term Key Message stream identifier
Type of attribute: session level or media level
The attribute can be at session level, in which case it applies to
all media streams, or it can be at media level, in which case it
only applies to the specified media and would overwrite possible
session-level attributes.
This attribute is not dependent on charset.
Purpose: The stkmstream attribute specifies the mapping of Short
Term Key Message streams to media streams in the SDP.
Each session or media stream can have multiple stkmstream
attributes. By comparing the value of this attribute with the
identifier of each STKM stream, the terminal can figure out which
one to listen to and process. We note that this attribute is
optional and hence would not be there for unencrypted media
streams.
Specification of attribute values: This attribute has a mandatory
value of the form , a unique non-zero
integer identifying a particular key stream. Numbers are unique
within a particular SDP session, i.e., no global numbering is
required. The att-value field is of XML data type unsignedShort.
For details, see OMA-TS-BCAST_SvcCntProtection, Section 10.1.3.

5.1.3. Registration of the Attribute SRTPAuthentication:
Contact: Anja Jerichow
Phone: +49 89 636-45868
Attribute name: SRTPAuthentication
Long-form attribute name: SRTP authentication algorithm value
identifier
Type of attribute: media level
This attribute is not dependent on charset.
Purpose: When SRTP is used, the attribute SRTPAuthentication states
which authentication algorithm to use.
Specification of attribute values: Based on [4], the identifier is a
transform-independent parameter of the cryptographic context for
SRTP in integer format.
One of the following three integrity transforms registered for the
three modes MUST be used: value "2" for RCCm1, "3" for RCCm2, and
"4" for RCCm3. For details, see OMA-TS-BCAST_SvcCntProtection,
Section 10.4.
5.1.4. Registration of the Attribute SRTPROCTxRate:
Contact: Anja Jerichow
Phone: +49 89 636-45868
Attribute name: SRTPROCTxRate
Long-form attribute name: ROC transmission rate
Type of attribute: media level
This attribute is not dependent on charset.
Purpose: When SRTP is used, the attribute SRTPROCTxRate defines the
ROC transmission rate, R.
Dondeti & Jerichow Informational [Page 5]
RFC 5159 OMA BCAST SDP Attributes March 2008
Specification of attribute values: The attribute value MUST be a
decimal integer R between 1 and 65535 inclusive, as specified in
[4]. If the ROC transmission rate is not included in the
negotiation, the default value of 1 SHALL be used. For details,
see OMA-TS-BCAST_SvcCntProtection, Section 10.4.
