Security requirements for Internet telephony networks

The Voice over IP Security Alliance, a recently formed industry group, has created a new committee to define security requirements for Internet telephony networks.

The committee will define security requirements across a variety of voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployments and address issues such as security technology components, architecture and network design, network management, and end-point access and authentication, the group said Monday. Another panel will research infrastructure weaknesses, vulnerabilities and emerging application attacks, the group said.
