SIP Security Mechanisms: A state-of-the-art review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The commercial deployment of VoIP necessitates the employment of security mechanisms that can assure availability, reliability, confidentiality and integrity. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is considered as the dominant signalling protocol for calls over the Internet. SIP, like other Internet protocols, is vulnerable to known Internet attacks, while at the same time it introduces new security problems in the VoIP system. This paper lists the existing security problems in SIP and provides a brief description, followed by a critical analysis, of the security mechanisms it employs.

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...
