Hello,
I want to enable SDES support in a chrome browser web app. I cound not find any configuration flag in "RTCConfiguration". Can someone provide me pointers to enable SDES support.


Thanks,

Uma,

You can't.

SDES is intentionally not supported and will not be supported in the WebRTC implementation of browsers. That's because it poses a real privacy risk by exposing the encryption keys to JavaScript code.

You will need to use a server/PBX that supports DTLS-SRTP or put a GW/SBC in front of your server/PBX to do that for you.

one can actually still enable SDES in Chrome by specifying DtlsSrtpKeyAgreement:false as a mandatory constraint. That is on its way out though so i'm intentionally not giving a more concrete example.
