Hi,

there is a brief description of RFC 6072: in the SIP domain, there is a 
credential server. User agent
(e.g. IP Phone, SIP softphone) uploads his public key on the server. If 
somebody would like to contact
the user, he can get user's public key from the credential server and 
send to the user encrypted message.
Another function of credential server is storing private key of user. It 
is good in reason, that user
registers on new endpoint. The endpoint can download private and public 
key from server, and there
would not be problem in for example forking encrypted call to several 
endpoints.
