In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can de ...

The standard addresses authentication by means of several
algorithms
In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm () is a finite sequence of rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. Algorithms are used as specifications for performing ...

Diffie-Hellman methods, and privacy. Privacy allows for encryption, also of the

The standardization board agreed on H.235.1 (former H.235 Annex D
ITU-T Recommendation H.235.0
(09/05), Appendix IV, page 40) to be the minimum requirement of an H.235 conforming implementation.
H.235.1, also known as ''Baseline Security Profile'' defines Authentication
Authentication (from ''authentikos'', "real, genuine", from αὐθέντης ''authentes'', "author") is the act of proving an assertion, such as the identity of a computer system user. In contrast with identification, the act of indicatin ...
and Integrity
Integrity is the practice of being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values.
In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. In ...

An H.235.1 aware H.323 Gatekeeper can thereby assure that only trusted H.323 endpoints are granted access to the Gatekeeper's services.
