+# Introduction to libSRTP
+
+This package provides an implementation of the Secure Real-time
+Transport Protocol (SRTP), the Universal Security Transform (UST), and
+a supporting cryptographic kernel. The SRTP API is documented in include/srtp.h,
+and the library is in libsrtp2.a (after compilation).
+
+This document describes libSRTP, the Open Source Secure RTP library
+from Cisco Systems, Inc. RTP is the Real-time Transport Protocol, an
+IETF standard for the transport of real-time data such as telephony,
+audio, and video, defined by [RFC 3550](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3550).
+Secure RTP (SRTP) is an RTP profile for providing confidentiality to RTP data
+and authentication to the RTP header and payload. SRTP is an IETF Standard,
+defined in [RFC 3711](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3711), and was developed
+in the IETF Audio/Video Transport (AVT) Working Group. This library supports
+all of the mandatory features of SRTP, but not all of the optional features. See
+the [Supported Features](#supported-features) section for more detailed information.
+
+This document is also used to generate the documentation files in the /doc/
+folder where a more detailed reference to the libSRTP API and related functions
+can be created (requires installing doxygen.). The reference material is created
+automatically from comments embedded in some of the C header files. The
+documentation is organized into modules in order to improve its clarity. These
+modules do not directly correspond to files. An underlying cryptographic kernel
+provides much of the basic functionality of libSRTP but is mostly undocumented
+because it does its work behind the scenes.

+# libSRTP Overview
+
+libSRTP provides functions for protecting RTP and RTCP. RTP packets
+can be encrypted and authenticated (using the `srtp_protect()`
+function), turning them into SRTP packets. Similarly, SRTP packets
+can be decrypted and have their authentication verified (using the
+`srtp_unprotect()` function), turning them into RTP packets. Similar
+functions apply security to RTCP packets.
+
+The typedef `srtp_stream_t` points to a structure holding all of the
+state associated with an SRTP stream, including the keys and
+parameters for cipher and message authentication functions and the
+anti-replay data. A particular `srtp_stream_t` holds the information
+needed to protect a particular RTP and RTCP stream. This datatype
+is intentionally opaque in order to better seperate the libSRTP
+API from its implementation.
+
+Within an SRTP session, there can be multiple streams, each
+originating from a particular sender. Each source uses a distinct
+stream context to protect the RTP and RTCP stream that it is
+originating. The typedef `srtp_t` points to a structure holding all of
+the state associated with an SRTP session. There can be multiple
+stream contexts associated with a single `srtp_t`. A stream context
+cannot exist indepent from an `srtp_t`, though of course an `srtp_t` can
+be created that contains only a single stream context. A device
+participating in an SRTP session must have a stream context for each
+source in that session, so that it can process the data that it
+receives from each sender.
+
+In libSRTP, a session is created using the function `srtp_create()`.
+The policy to be implemented in the session is passed into this
+function as an `srtp_policy_t` structure. A single one of these
+structures describes the policy of a single stream. These structures
+can also be linked together to form an entire session policy. A linked
+list of `srtp_policy_t` structures is equivalent to a session policy.
+In such a policy, we refer to a single `srtp_policy_t` as an *element*.
+
+An `srtp_policy_t` structure contains two `srtp_crypto_policy_t` structures
+that describe the cryptograhic policies for RTP and RTCP, as well as
+the SRTP master key and the SSRC value. The SSRC describes what to
+protect (e.g. which stream), and the `srtp_crypto_policy_t` structures
+describe how to protect it. The key is contained in a policy element
+because it simplifies the interface to the library. In many cases, it
+is desirable to use the same cryptographic policies across all of the
+streams in a session, but to use a distinct key for each stream. A
+`srtp_crypto_policy_t` structure can be initialized by using either the
+`srtp_crypto_policy_set_rtp_default()` or `srtp_crypto_policy_set_rtcp_default()`
+functions, which set a crypto policy structure to the default policies
+for RTP and RTCP protection, respectively.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+<a name="secure-rtp-background"></a>
+## Secure RTP Background
+
+In this section we review SRTP and introduce some terms that are used
+in libSRTP. An RTP session is defined by a pair of destination
+transport addresses, that is, a network address plus a pair of UDP
+ports for RTP and RTCP. RTCP, the RTP control protocol, is used to
+coordinate between the participants in an RTP session, e.g. to provide
+feedback from receivers to senders. An *SRTP session* is
+similarly defined; it is just an RTP session for which the SRTP
+profile is being used. An SRTP session consists of the traffic sent
+to the SRTP or SRTCP destination transport addresses. Each
+participant in a session is identified by a synchronization source
+(SSRC) identifier. Some participants may not send any SRTP traffic;
+they are called receivers, even though they send out SRTCP traffic,
+such as receiver reports.
+
+RTP allows multiple sources to send RTP and RTCP traffic during the
+same session. The synchronization source identifier (SSRC) is used to
+distinguish these sources. In libSRTP, we call the SRTP and SRTCP
+traffic from a particular source a *stream*. Each stream has its own
+SSRC, sequence number, rollover counter, and other data. A particular
+choice of options, cryptographic mechanisms, and keys is called a
+*policy*. Each stream within a session can have a distinct policy
+applied to it. A session policy is a collection of stream policies.
+
+A single policy can be used for all of the streams in a given session,
+though the case in which a single *key* is shared across multiple
+streams requires care. When key sharing is used, the SSRC values that
+identify the streams **must** be distinct. This requirement can be
+enforced by using the convention that each SRTP and SRTCP key is used
+for encryption by only a single sender. In other words, the key is
+shared only across streams that originate from a particular device (of
+course, other SRTP participants will need to use the key for
+decryption). libSRTP supports this enforcement by detecting the case
+in which a key is used for both inbound and outbound data.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+<a name="supported-features"></a>
+## Supported Features
+
+This library supports all of the mandatory-to-implement features of
+SRTP (as defined in [RFC 3711](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3711)). Some of these
+features can be selected (or de-selected) at run time by setting an
+appropriate policy; this is done using the structure `srtp_policy_t`.
+Some other behaviors of the protocol can be adapted by defining an
+approriate event handler for the exceptional events; see the SRTPevents
+section in the generated documentation.
+
+Some options that are described in the SRTP specification are not
+supported. This includes
+
+- key derivation rates other than zero,
+- the cipher F8,
+- the use of the packet index to select between master keys.
+
+The user should be aware that it is possible to misuse this libary,
+and that the result may be that the security level it provides is
+inadequate. If you are implementing a feature using this library, you
+will want to read the Security Considerations section of [RFC 3711](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3711#section-9).
+In addition, it is important that you read and understand the
+terms outlined in the [License and Disclaimer](#license-and-disclaimer) section.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+<a name="implementation-notes"></a>
+## Implementation Notes
+
+ * The `srtp_protect()` function assumes that the buffer holding the
+ rtp packet has enough storage allocated that the authentication
+ tag can be written to the end of that packet. If this assumption
+ is not valid, memory corruption will ensue.
+
+ * Automated tests for the crypto functions are provided through
+ the `cipher_type_self_test()` and `auth_type_self_test()` functions.
+ These functions should be used to test each port of this code
+ to a new platform.
+
+ * Replay protection is contained in the crypto engine, and
+ tests for it are provided.
+
+ * This implementation provides calls to initialize, protect, and
+ unprotect RTP packets, and makes as few as possible assumptions
+ about how these functions will be called. For example, the
+ caller is not expected to provide packets in order (though if
+ they're called more than 65k out of sequence, synchronization
+ will be lost).
+
+ * The sequence number in the rtp packet is used as the low 16 bits
+ of the sender's local packet index. Note that RTP will start its
+ sequence number in a random place, and the SRTP layer just jumps
+ forward to that number at its first invocation. An earlier
+ version of this library used initial sequence numbers that are
+ less than 32,768; this trick is no longer required as the
+ `rdbx_estimate_index(...)` function has been made smarter.
+
+ * The replay window for (S)RTCP is hardcoded to 128 bits in length.

+# Installing and Building libSRTP
+
+To install libSRTP, download the latest release of the distribution
+from [https://github.com/cisco/libsrtp/releases](https://github.com/cisco/libsrtp/releases).
+You probably want to get the most recent release. Unpack the distribution and
+extract the source files; the directory into which the source files
+will go is named `libsrtp-A-B-C` where `A` is the version number, `B` is the
+major release number and `C` is the minor release number.
+
+libSRTP uses the GNU `autoconf` and `make` utilities (BSD make will not work; if
+both versions of make are on your platform, you can invoke GNU make as
+`gmake`.). In the `libsrtp` directory, run the configure script and then
+make:
+
+~~~.txt
+./configure [ options ]
+make
+~~~
+
+The configure script accepts the following options:
+
+Option | Description
+-------------------------------|--------------------
+\-\-help \-h | Display help
+\-\-enable-debug-logging | Enable debug logging in all modules
+\-\-enable-log-stdout | Enable logging to stdout
+\-\-enable-openssl | Enable OpenSSL crypto engine
+\-\-enable-openssl-kdf | Enable OpenSSL KDF algorithm
+\-\-with-log-file | Use file for logging
+\-\-with-openssl-dir | Location of OpenSSL installation
+
+By default there is no log output, logging can be enabled to be output to stdout
+or a given file using the configure options.
+
+This package has been tested on the following platforms: Mac OS X
+(powerpc-apple-darwin1.4), Cygwin (i686-pc-cygwin), Solaris
+(sparc-sun-solaris2.6), RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9 (i686-pc-linux), and
+OpenBSD (sparc-unknown-openbsd2.7).
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+<a name="changing-build-configuration"></a>
+## Changing Build Configuration
+
+To build the `./configure` script mentioned above, libSRTP relies on the
+[automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/) toolchain. Since
+`./configure` is built from `configure.in` by automake, if you make changes in
+how `./configure` works (e.g., to add a new library dependency), you will need
+to rebuild `./configure` and commit the updated version. In addition to
+automake itself, you will need to have the `pkgconfig` tools installed as well.
+
+For example, on macOS:
+
+```
+brew install automake pkgconfig
+# Edit configure.in
+autoremake -ivf
+```
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<a name="using-visual-studio"></a>
+## Using Visual Studio
+
+On Windows one can use Visual Studio via CMake. CMake can be downloaded here:
+https://cmake.org/ . To create Visual Studio build files, for example run the
+following commands:
+
+```
+# Create build subdirectory
+mkdir build
+cd build
+
+# Make project files
+cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017"
+
+# Or for 64 bit project files
+cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
+```
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+<a name="using-meson"></a>
+## Using Meson
+
+On all platforms including Windows, one can build using [Meson](https://mesonbuild.org).
+Steps to download Meson are here: https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html
+
+To build with Meson, you can do something like:
+
+```
+# Setup the build subdirectory
+meson setup --prefix=/path/to/prefix builddir
+
+# Build the project
+meson compile -C builddir
+
+# Run tests
+meson test -C builddir
+
+# Optionally, install
+meson install -C builddir
+```
+
+To build with Visual Studio, run the above commands from inside a Visual Studio
+command prompt, or run `vcvarsall.bat` with the appropriate arguments inside
+a Command Prompt.
+
+Note that you can also replace the above commands with the appropriate `ninja`
+targets: `ninja -C build`, `ninja -C build test`, `ninja -C build install`.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+<a name="applications"></a>
+# Applications
+
+Several test drivers and a simple and portable srtp application are
+included in the `test/` subdirectory.
+
+Test driver | Function tested
+--------- | -------
+kernel_driver | crypto kernel (ciphers, auth funcs, rng)
+srtp_driver | srtp in-memory tests (does not use the network)
+rdbx_driver | rdbx (extended replay database)
+roc_driver | extended sequence number functions
+replay_driver | replay database
+cipher_driver | ciphers
+auth_driver | hash functions
+
+The app `rtpw` is a simple rtp application which reads words from
+`/usr/dict/words` and then sends them out one at a time using [s]rtp.
+Manual srtp keying uses the -k option; automated key management
+using gdoi will be added later.
+
+usage:
+~~~.txt
+rtpw [[-d <debug>]* [-k|b <key> [-a][-e <key size>][-g]] [-s | -r] dest_ip dest_port] | [-l]
+~~~
+
+Either the -s (sender) or -r (receiver) option must be chosen. The
+values `dest_ip`, `dest_port` are the IP address and UDP port to which
+the dictionary will be sent, respectively.
+
+The options are:
+
+Option | Description
+--------- | -------
+ -s | (S)RTP sender - causes app to send words
+ -r | (S)RTP receive - causes app to receive words
+ -k <key> | use SRTP master key <key>, where the key is a hexadecimal (without the leading "0x")
+ -b <key> | same as -k but with base64 encoded key
+ -e <keysize> | encrypt/decrypt (for data confidentiality) (requires use of -k option as well) (use 128, 192, or 256 for keysize)
+ -g | use AES-GCM mode (must be used with -e)
+ -a | message authentication (requires use of -k option as well)
+ -l | list the available debug modules
+ -d <debug> | turn on debugging for module <debug>
+
+In order to get random 30-byte values for use as key/salt pairs , you
+can use the following bash function to format the output of
+`/dev/random` (where that device is available).
+
+~~~.txt
+function randhex() {
+ cat /dev/random | od --read-bytes=32 --width=32 -x | awk '{ print $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 $13 $14 $15 $16 }'
+}
+~~~
+
+An example of an SRTP session using two rtpw programs follows:
+
+~~~.txt

+## Example Code
+
+This section provides a simple example of how to use libSRTP. The
+example code lacks error checking, but is functional. Here we assume
+that the value ssrc is already set to describe the SSRC of the stream
+that we are sending, and that the functions `get_rtp_packet()` and
+`send_srtp_packet()` are available to us. The former puts an RTP packet
+into the buffer and returns the number of octets written to that
+buffer. The latter sends the RTP packet in the buffer, given the
+length as its second argument.
+
+~~~.c
+srtp_t session;
+srtp_policy_t policy;
+
+// Set key to predetermined value
+uint8_t key[30] = {0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07,
