As detailed in the Trust and Security Framework (TSF), Annex I of the SRTP rulebook, in order to ensure that all participants to the SRTP scheme have the required technical, operational, security and business continuity capabilities to exchange RTP messages as described in the SRTP scheme rulebook and the SRTP Implementation Guidelines, some applicants to the SRTP scheme have to undergo the SRTP homologation process.
The homologations are carried out in waves throughout the year.
There are three waves annually:
• February – April
• April – June
• September – November
To take part, applicants must subscribe at least one month before the start of the chosen wave.
