Abstract

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the call control protocol of choice for Voice over IP (VoIP) networks because of its open and extensible nature. However, the integrity of call signaling between sites is of utmost importance, and SIP is vulnerable to attackers when left unprotected. Currently a hop-by-hop security model is prevalent, wherein intermediaries forward a request towards the destination user agent server (UAS) without a user agent client (UAC) knowing whether or not the intermediary behaved in a trusted manner. This paper presents an integrated security model for SIP-based VoIP network by combining hop-by-hop security and end-to-end security.
