SIP for presence(1) two new methods: SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY Presence Agent (PA) accepts subscriptions for

presence notifications and sends these on state changes

PA mostly co-located with SIP User Agent But can also be with SIP registrar or separate

PA receives SUBSCRIBE request and gets authorization from target if authorized, a positive response gets back (i.e. 200 OK)

target changes state PA sends changed state as presence information (in body)

via NOTIFY request to subscribers

SIP for presence(2)

subscription to a PA (Presentity) expires as indicated by the Expires: header

subscriber has to re- SUBSCRIBE to get further notifications

IMPP interworking : XML data formats IMPP and SIMPLE working group have

defined protocol-neutral data formats in XML for presence information (PIDF) watcher information buddy lists configuration (XCAP)

Example: PIDF for presence

<presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:cpimpresence:" entity=“pres:hubert@example.com"> <tuple id=“im"> <status> <basic>open</basic> </status> <contact priority="2"> im:hubert@example.com </contact> </tuple> </presence>

SIP for instant messaging new method: MESSAGE SIP client (sender) issues MESSAGE request

Conclusion

Who Will Win (XMPP and SIMPLE)? SIP security more difficult than email or web Try to re-use existing mechanisms:

IPsec and TLS Digest authentication S/MIME for end-to-end HTTP EAP?
