In the session initiation protocol (SIP), payments have been proposed as a way for vendors to obtain profit from the services they provide. Payments in SIP have also been proposed for microbilling and even as a solution to SPAM in VoIP systems. Although several proposals exist for making payments in SIP, they present some limitations when we want to pay for access to real-time services: either ...

Phone features, e.g., 911 call, voicemail, and Do Not Disturb, are critical and necessary for all deployed VoIP systems. In this paper, we empirically investigate the security of these phone features. We have implemented a number of attacks and experimented with VoIP services by leading VoIP service providers Vonage, AT&T and Gizmo. Our experimental results demonstrate that a man-in-the-middle ...

Voice over IP (VoIP) is one of the advanced services supported by the next generation mobile communication. VoIP should support various media formats and terminals existing together. This heterogeneous environment may prevent diverse users from establishing VoIP sessions among them. To solve the problem an efficient media negotiation mechanism is required. In this paper, we propose the efficien...

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based services, such as VoIP, Instant Messaging (IM) and Presence, depend on the Internet and SIP overlay infrastructure. Wireless ad hoc networks being devoid of any such infrastructure, require auxiliary mechanisms to support such services. In this paper, we have proposed an integration of the services with a cluster based ad hoc routing protocol and subseque...

Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) is a new way of communicating. It is a technology that allows users to make telephone calls over an IP network. This paper will describe Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to a level that allows discussion of security issues and concerns. Business concerns of implementing VoIP, components of a VoIP system, and relevant security issues and concerns as they ap...

Session Initiation Protocol is a core protocol for coming real time communication networks, including VoIP, IMS and IPTV networks. Based on the open IP stack, it is similarly susceptible to Denial-of-Service Attacks launched against SIP servers. More than 20 different research works have been published to address SIP-related DoS problems. In this survey we explain three different types of DoS a...

This document defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event package that enables the collection and reporting of metrics that measure the quality for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) sessions. Voice call quality information derived from RTP Control Protocol Extended Reports (RTCP-XR) and call information from SIP is conveyed from a User Agent (UA) in a session, known as a reporter, to a ...

In this work, Session Initiation Protocol model is established by using Timed Colored Petri Nets (TCPN). SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a protocol developed to assist in providing advanced telephony services across the Internet. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the quasi-standard for VoiceoverInternet Protocol (VoIP) communications. SIP is based on a client-server infrastr...
