InSecuring VoIP Networks, two leading experts systematically review the security risks and vulnerabilities associated with VoIP networks and offer proven, detailed recommendations for securing them. Drawing on case studies from their own fieldwork, the authors address VoIP security from the perspective of real-world network implementers, managers, and security specialists. The authors identify key threats to VoIP networks, including eavesdropping, unauthorized access, denial of service, masquerading, and fraud; and review vulnerabilities in protocol design, network architecture, software, and system configuration that place networks at risk. They discuss the advantages and tradeoffs associated with protection mechanisms built into SIP, SRTP, and other VoIP protocols; and review key management solutions such as MIKEY and ZRTP. Next, they present a complete security framework for enterprise VoIP networks, and provide detailed architectural guidance for both service providers and enterprise users.

Ari Takanen is founder and CTO of Codenomicon. Since 1998, Ari has
focused on information security issues in next-generation networks and security
critical environments. He began at Oulu University Secure Programming Group
(OUSPG) as a contributing member to PROTOS research that studied information
security and reliability errors in WAP, SNMP, LDAP, and VoIP implementations.
Ari and his company, Codenomicon Ltd. provide and commercialize automated
tools using a systematic approach to test a multitude of interfaces on mission-critical
software, VoIP platforms, Internet-routing infrastructure, and 3G devices.
Codenomicon and the University of Oulu aim to ensure new technologies are
accepted by the general public, by providing means of measuring and ensuring
quality in networked software. Ari has been speaking at numerous security and
testing conferences on four continents and has been invited to speak at leading
universities and international corporations.
