Spam call is one of the main security threat in VoIP services. In this paper, we have designed simulation model for performance evaluation of VoIP spam defense mechanism. The simulation model has functions for performance evaluation such as calls generation and input/output comparison. Four representative caller models have been developed for performance evaluation and each model has its own characteristics as statistical parameters. The target mechanism of performance evaluation is SPIT(Spam over Internet Telephony) level decision algorithm, and we have derived SPIT levels of caller models. The performance evaluation model is designed using the DEVS formalism and DEVSJAVA$^{TM}$ is exploited for development and execution of simulation models.

This paper proposes a prediction reputation system for the anti-SPIT solution in real-time VoIP environment. Increased accuracy of the determination as to whether spam or not by deriving a threshold based on SPIT presence in the existing paper. The existing schemes need to get the user's feedback and/or have experienced the time delay and overload as session initiates due to real-time operation. To solve these problems, the proposed scheme predicts the reputation through the statistical analysis based on the period of session initiation of each caller and the call duration of each receiver. As per the second mentioned problem, this scheme performs the prediction before session initiation, therefore, it's proper for real-time VoIP environment.

Recently VoIP has provided voice(both wired and wireless from IP-based) as well as the transmission of multimedia information. VoIP used All-IP type, Gateway type, mVoIP etc. Wired and wireless VoIP has security vulnerabilities that VoIP call control signals, illegal eavesdropping, service misuse attacks, denial of service attack, as well as wireless vulnerabilities etc. from WiFi Zone. Therefore, the analysis of security vulnerabilities in wired and wireless VoIP and hacking incidents on security measures for research and study is needed. In this paper, VoIP (All-IP type, and for Gateway type) for system and network scanning, and, IP Phone to get the information and analysis of the vulnerability. All-IP type and Gateway type discovered about the vulnerability of VoIP hacking attacks (Denial of Service attacks, VoIP spam attacks) is carried out. And that is a real VoIP system installed and operated in the field of security measures through research and analysis is proposed.

Voice over Internet protocol(VoIP) is support a VoIP service as All-IP method and Gateway method etc. All-IP method to the unit in an Internet environment by applying both the IP service is an VoIP system. Gateway method, using a normal phone call in a way that the Internet is using VoIP. In this paper, scanning and analyze the vulnerability for VoIP systems and networks from All-IP method and the Gateway method In the test bed. All-IP method and Gateway method found in the VoIP vulnerabilities, hacking attack, a denial of service attacks and VoIP spam attacks are carried out. Through analysis of post-attack security measures is proposed.

VoIP is a communication technique can be used anywhere you can find wifi signal and it costs much lower than conventional mobile service. However, security of VoIP is not as robust as former, the converse could be easily intercepted and attacked especially in MANETs which the attackers access easier than in wired networks. Sercurity of VoIP system in MANETs is an important issue nowadays. In this paper, a typical attack method of VoIP systems in MANETs is described and we implement how to prevent it.

기존 전화에 비해 저렴한 가격으로 서비스의 제공이 가능한 VoIP 서비스의 증가는 SIP 스팸이라는 역기능을 낳았다. SIP은 표준 VoIP 프로토콜로 현재 SIP 기반의 VoIP 서비스의 개발이 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 이에 본 논문은 SIP 기반 VoIP 환경에서의 스팸 유형을 살펴본 후 이를 해결하기 위한 스팸 대응 기술로 기존의 이메일 스팸 대응 기술을 비교, 분석한다. 또한 이메일 스팸 대응 기술을 기반으로 제안된 현재 SIP 스팸 대응 기술을 알아보고 앞서 분석한 대응 기술의 SIP 기반 VoIP 환경에서의 적용 가능 여부를 생각하여 가장 적합한 스팸 대응 기술을 제시한다.

VoIP provides voice data service using existing IP networks and has received much attention recently. VoIP service has a variety of security vulnerabilities. Types of main attacks on VoIP service are tapping/interception, DoS attacks, spam, misuse of service attacks and the like. Of these, confidential information leak because of tapping/interception has been considered as a critical problem. Encryption techniques, such as SRTP and ZRTP, are mostly used to prevent tap and intercept on VoIP media information. In general, VoIP service has two service scenarios. First, VoIP service operates within a single private network. Second, VoIP service operates between different private networks. Both SRTP and ZRTP for VoIP media information within a single private network can perform encryption. But they can not perform encryption between different private networks. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, we modify SRTP protocol. And then, we propose an encryption method that can perform encryption of VoIP media information between the different private networks.

ITSP(Internet Telephony Service Provider)를 이용한 VoIP 서비스의 사용자가 증가함에 따라 VoIP 스팸은 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 기존의 일반 전화 때부터 사용되던 스팸은 실시간적 음성 통신이라는 특성상 콘텐츠 필터링을 하기 어렵기 때문에 롤 행위 패턴 조사를 통해 스패머(Spammer)를 구분하고 있다. 그러나 잘못된 오판으로 인한 문제와 스팸으로 인식하는 임계값을 넘지 않는 한도의 스팸 전송, 그리고 여러 사용자가 하나의 번호를 공유하여 사용하는 경우에는 여전히 스팸의 위협이 남아 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 튜링 테스트를 이용한 VoIP 스팸 방지를 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 송신자에게 튜링 테스트를 거치게 하고, 튜링 테스트를 통과한 사용자만 수신자와 연결이 되는 방식으로 동작한다. 또한 튜링 테스트를 통과한 정상적인 사용자에게는 티켓을 줌으로써 재발신시 거쳐야하는 튜링 테스트의 번거로움을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 ASUS WL-500G 무선 공유기 및 Asterisk IP-PBX에서 구현되었고 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

mVoIP (mobile Voice over Internet Protocol) service is a technology to transmit voice data through an IP network using mobile device. mVoIP provides various supplementary services with low communication cost. It can maximize the availability and efficiency by using IP-based network resources. In addition, the users can use voice call service at any time and in any place, as long as they can access the Internet on mobile device easily. However, SIP on mobile device is exposed to IP-based attacks and threats. Observed cyber threats to SIP services include wiretapping, denial of service, and service misuse, VoIP spam which are also applicable to existing IP-based networks. These attacks are also applicable to SIP and continuously cause problems. In this study, we analysis the threat and vulnerability on mVoIP service and propose several possible attack scenarios on existing mobile VoIP devices. Based on a proposed analysis and vulnerability test mechanism, we can construct more enhanced SIP security mechanism and stable mobile VoIP service framework after eliminating its vulnerability on mobile telephony system.

This paper proposes a SPIT(Spam over IP Telephony) prevention framework which is using expanded white-list in real-time VoIP environment. The existing schemes are vulnerable to attack from spammers since they can continue to transfer SPIT upon changing their ID. And existing frameworks have experienced the time delay and overload as session initiates due to real-time operation. To solve these problems, the proposed scheme expands the scope of white lists by forming social networks using the white list, but it is to decide quickly whether pass a caller ID without searching the entire database. The proposed framework takes the three-stage architecture and the fast scoring system. The proposed framework minimize user's inconvenience and time delay for initiation of session, therefore, it is proper for real-time VoIP environment.
