7. Security Considerations

For security considerations regarding the codecs themselves, please refer to their specifications, including [RFC6716], [RFC7587], [RFC3551], [RFC3389], and [RFC4733]. Likewise, consult the RTP base specification for RTP-based security considerations. WebRTC security is further discussed in [WebRTC-SEC], [WebRTC-SEC-ARCH], and [WebRTC-RTP-USAGE].

Using the guidelines in [RFC6562], implementers should consider whether the use of variable bitrate is appropriate for their application. Encryption and authentication issues are beyond the scope of this document.
