Properties marked as immutable via the IMMUTABLE_PROPERTIES mechanism in [MoQTransport] provide integrity protection - relays cannot modify these values without detection. However, immutable properties are NOT encrypted and remain visible to relays. Applications must carefully consider which properties require:
-
Confidentiality (use Private properties)
-
Integrity without confidentiality (use Immutable properties)
-
Neither (standard mutable properties suitable for relay operation)
