SIP in higher education

[Candace Holman <>]

Hi,

I'm not sure why Kerberos fell by the wayside, but there exists already 
an expired IETF draft from 2003: 
http://www.iptel.org/ietf/allsipdir/draft-wagle-sip-kerbpki-00.txt  You 
may be able to contact the author for more info.

Interestingly, Google turns up a European Microsoft patent from 2002 for 
a Kerberized system:
