Abstract :
SIP is among the most popular Voice over IP signaling protocols. Its deployment in live scenarios showed vulnerability to attacks defined as signaling attacks. These attacks are used to tear down a session or manipulate its parameters. In this paper we present a security mechanism that protects SIP sessions against such attacks. The mechanism uses SIP fingerprint to authenticate messages, in order to prevent spoofing. We validate our mechanism using Openssl and Sipp and show that it is light and robust.
