Asterisk 11 SRTP: Unsupported Crypto Parameters: UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP

Hi All,

I have Asterisk 11 talking to Avaya over SIP trunk using TLS and SRTP. On incoming calls from Avaya asterisk complains of ‘unsupported crypto parameters: UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP’ and rejects the call with ‘488 Not acceptable here’

Doesn’t Asterisk support UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP as crypto parameters in sdp?

FYI SDP looks like this.

v=0
o=- 1429194215 1 IN IP4 XX.XX.XX.XX
s=-
c=IN IP4 XX.XX.XX.XX
b=TIAS:64000
t=0 0

inline:zUVSWsFB/WjVtLxXojBT7zbNvuQ4BkOwcCkD/AjM|2^20 UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP

And on CLI I see,

Thanking in advance for any inputs.

One thought on - Asterisk 11 SRTP: Unsupported Crypto Parameters: UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP

  • Asterisk is complaining because placing an “UNENCRYPTED_SRTCP” after the lifetime parameter in a crypto attribute is part of RFC 4568
    (Security Descriptions for Media Streams), which Asterisk does not support.

    You will need to see if the Avaya system can be configured to not send the attribute.
