Security patterns for Voice over IP Networks
- Florida Atlantic University, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Boca Raton, Florida
Abstract
Voice over IP (VoIP) has had a strong effect onglobal communications by allowing human voice and faxinformation to travel over existing packet data networksalong with traditional data packets. The convergence ofvoice and data in the same network brings both benefits andconstraints to users. Among the several issues that need tobe addressed when deploying this technology, security is oneof the most critical. We give an overview of VoIP andprovide UML models of some aspects of its infrastructure,including architectures and basic use cases. We presentsome security patterns that describe mechanisms that cancontrol many of the possible attacks and which could beused to design secure systems.
