Crash, >> I haven't been able to find any effort on IP Telephony fraud management and I'm wondering if the industry is going to depend on authentication or encryption in order to counter this threat. I suspect this being a immature industry, the issue has not been encountered to date. Do you know of any efforts in this area?<< Attempts are made at the VoIP Forum level to address at least the preliminary authentication function as a step that is taken in the 'gatekeeper' utilities, but as I stated earlier today in... Message 4605717 ...very little is being done to incorporate these features at this time. Most implementations appear to be focused on the pure bypass capabilities of VoIP 'Gateways,' as opposed to the more intelligent handling of VoIP 'Servers.' And less is being said about it, in the releases. Although today I did come across two PRs that did at least state that the gatekeeper function is incorporated in the design of the products being discussed. Eavesdropping on the open Internet could take on a new meaning, with voice being the payload of interest. UDPs, unencrypted, flying about. A sniffer's delight? Frank C.
