Future telephony and multimedia systems will use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for signaling purposes. SIP is a text-based protocol that imposes challenges for an efficient message processing. The ability of SIP entities to process SIP messages quickly is crucial for the performance of these networks, which often have strict timing requirements, e. g., to keep the call setup delays smal...

session initiation protocol (sip) is the main signaling protocol of next generation networks (ngn). sip based applications are usually deployed over the internet, for which their text-based nature and internal stateful operation make them vulnerable to different types of attacks. the real‑time functionality of sip based applications make their related security systems more complex. on the other...

This document specifies a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) profile of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) as well as a SAML SIP binding. The defined SIP SAML Profile composes with the mechanisms defined in the SIP Identity specification and satisfy requirements presented in "Trait-based Authorization Requirements for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)".

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been used widely for Voice over IP (VoIP) service because of its potential advantages, economical efficiency and call setup simplicity. However, SIP-based VoIP service basically has two main security issues, malformed SIP message attack and SIP flooding attack. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism for SIP-based VoIP system utilizing rule matching...

As a result of its low costs and high degree of integration with other services, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become very widely used, while Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is one of the most important protocols for providing the VoIP service. Since SIP is an open source code with a simple structure and high expansibility, SIP servers are more vulnerable to attack by SIP messages m...

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been adopted by the IETF as the control protocol for creating, modifying and terminating multimedia sessions. Overload occurs in SIP networks when SIP servers have insufficient resources to handle received messages. Under overload, SIP networks may suffer from congestion collapse due to current ineffective SIP overload control mechanisms. This paper int...
