3.3 Secure Peer Name Initiation - Publisher Details

The purpose of the Secure Peer Name initiation is to allow a Remote Assistance Connection String, as defined in [MS-RA], to pass from the publisher of the string to the consumer. After the string is passed, the consumer can use the string to initialize a Remote Assistance connection, and to view and share the publisher's screen.

The task of initiating a Remote Assistance connection is shown in the following diagram.

Initial state: This state is the initial state where the publisher has the string that will enable a Remote Assistance connection to be established and wants to let the consumer know the contents of the string.

Secure Peer Name registered: A Secure Peer NameĀ  has been registered with the encrypted connection string associated as a payload.

Secure Peer Name unregistered: After a Remote Assistance session has been initialized or the expiration time event occurred, the payload in the Secure Peer Name is no longer useful. The Secure Peer Name SHOULD be unregistered.
