SIP Security Status Quo and Future Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
Today, the session initiation protocol (SIP) is the predominant protocol for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) signalling. The intention of this paper is to present an overview of VoIP security issues both current and future – focusing on SIP. We start by presenting some fundamental differences between VoIP and the public switched telephone network (PSTN). We then look at specific problems for SIP signalling that arise from these differences. We summarize current activities regarding SIP security, including recent developments in the research community and standardization efforts within the IETF. Finally, the paper will give an outlook on security issues in future VoIP scenarios. Specifically, we present a short security analysis of using SIP in a peer-to-peer setting (P2P-SIP).

Session Initiation Protocol is currently receiving much attention and seems to be the most promising candidate as signaling protocol for the current and future IP telephony services, also becoming a real competitor to plain old telephone service. For the realization of such a scenario, there is the obvious need to provide a certain level of quality and security, comparable to that provided by t...
متن کاملSafety Dimensions of Session Initiation Protocol
With the appearance of multimedia applications and the upcoming age of Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice setup and resources control protocols such as SIP and H.323 over the Internet are becoming increasingly attractive applications. In the last few years as a real competitor in traditional telephony services (PSTN), SIP has gained much attention when compared with H.323. SIP works at presentation an...

متن کاملSecurity testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
