Remove extra references at end of paragraphs in STIR section?

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the STIR section, every paragraph has a "[7]" at the end because there is a <ref name="Understand" /> reference. It does not seem to me that ALL of these references are needed. Would others agree that they should be removed? --Dyork (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Encrypting vs. Signing?

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article currently says: The provider then attaches an encrypted certificate to the SIP header with the service provider's identity and a trust value. VoIP software on the receiving end can check the authenticity of the message by decrypting STIR using the provider's public key. Typically, a public key is either used to encrypt data or verify a signature, and a private key is used to decrypt the data (or sign it). So is this paragraph actually talking about signing, not encrypting? --Stefan2904 (talk) 13:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Technically, signing is sort of subclass of encryption, it's just that both the public and private key within the protocol are generated by the same party. 104.229.11.48 (talk) 05:04, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
