The Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol is designed to provide authentication, data integrity, and confidentiality for communications between two applications over an Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) provides encryption, message authentication and integrity, and replay protection to the RTP data in both unicast and multicast applications. DTLS-SRTP is an extension to the DTLS protocol, where DTLS acts as the key management protocol. DTLS protocol is also extended to negotiate the SRTP crypto suites and parameters for use with those keys.
WebRTC is a signaling protocol defined for the real time communication between the Web Browsers. WebRTC has assigned DTLS-SRTP protocol for the media exchange between the browsers. With the implementation of this feature, SBC supports:

|
| |
Parameter | Description |
|---|
Name | Specifies the name of the Dtls Profile created. The value ranges up to 23 characters. |
Handshake Timer
| Specifies the time in which the Dtls handshake must be completed. The timer starts when the TCP connection is established. Must be 1 - 60 seconds; default is 5. |
Session Resump Timer | Specifies the Dtls session resumption period for which cached sessions are retained (in seconds). Dtls allows successive connections to be created within one Dtls session and the resumption of a session after a Dtls connection is closed or after a server card failover, without repeating the entire authentication and other setup steps for each connection, except when the space must be reclaimed for a new session. Must be 0 - 86,400 seconds; default is 300. |
Cipher Suite1 | Use this parameter to specify the first Dtls Cipher Suite choice for this profile. nosuitersa-with-3des-ede-cbc-sha – Authentication mechanism in the Dtls Handshake protocol.
