Introduction + + The third-generation partnership project 2 (3GPP2) for 3rd generation + cellular telephony has defined a standard file format to contain + audio/visual sequences that may be downloaded to cellular phones + [3gpp2]. At the time of writing, the 3GPP2 file format (3G2) can + contain H.263, H.264, or MPEG-4 video; and 13K Vocoder, EVRC or AMR + Narrow-band speech, or AAC audio; and 3GPP timed text. + + + + +Garudadri Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 4393 3GPP2 Multimedia Registrations March 2006 + + + Within the file, as with all files in the 'ISO' family, there is an + intrinsic file-type box, which identifies those specifications to + which the file complies, and which players (possibly compliant with + only one specification) are permitted by the content author to play + the file. This identification is through four-letter 'brands'. + Files identified by the MIME [MIME1] type defined in this document + MUST contain, in their compatible brands list, a brand defined in a + standard (issued by 3GPP2) that can apply to 3GPP2 files. + + The MIME types defined in this document are needed correctly to + identify such files when they are served over HTTP, included in + multi-part documents, or used in other places where MIME types are + used. + +1.1. Conventions Used in This Document + + In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", + "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", + and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 + [RFC2119]. + +2. Security Considerations + + The 3GPP2 file format may contain audio, video, and displayable text + data. There is currently no provision for 'active' elements (such as + scripts) of any kind. + + Clearly, it is possible to author malicious files that attempt to + call for an excessively large picture size, high sampling-rate audio, + etc. However, clients can and usually do protect themselves against + this kind of attack. + + It should be noted that selected metadata fields may encompass + information partly intended to protect the media against unauthorized + use or distribution. In this case, the intention is that alteration + or removal of the data in the field would be treated as an offense + under national agreement-based World Intellectual Property + Organization (WIPO) treaties. + + 3GPP2 files have an extensible structure, so it is theoretically + possible that metadata fields or media formats could be defined in + the future that could be used to induce particular actions on the + part of the recipient, thus presenting additional security risks; but + this type of capability is currently not supported in the referenced + specification. + + + + + + +Garudadri Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4393 3GPP2 Multimedia Registrations March 2006 + + + Encryption, signing, or authentication of these file formats can be + done using any media-independent transformations of the file or media + data. + +3. MIME Types + + This registration applies to all files defined as using the '3G2' + file format and identified with a suitable brand in a 3GPP2 + specification. The usual file suffix for all these files is ".3g2". + +3.1. Files with Audio but No Video + + The type "audio/3gpp2" may be used for files containing audio but no + visual presentation (neither video nor timed text, for example). + + To: ietf-types@iana.org + Subject: Registration of Standard MIME media type audio/3gpp2 + + MIME media type name: + audio + MIME subtype name: + 3gpp2 + Required parameters: + None. + Optional parameters: + Codecs. See [Bucket]. If the audio/3gpp2 body part contains + another container format, the Codecs parameter MUST list all + codecs indicated by all formats, including any contained formats. + Optional parameter values: + [3gpp2] + Encoding considerations: + This data is binary and should be transmitted in a suitable + encoding without CR/LF conversion, 7-bit stripping, etc.; base64 + is a suitable encoding. Note that this MIME type is used only + for files; separate types are used for real-time transfer, such + as for the RTP payload format for 13K vocoder speech [RFC2658]. + Security considerations: + See the security considerations section in RFC 4393 (this + document). + Interoperability considerations: + The 3GPP2 organization has defined the specification of the media + format [3gpp2].
