- Description
- Implementations of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) have focused, up to now, mainly on the need to transport data in real-time, often at the expense of security. The neglect of secure VoIP is often intentional, as developers are striving to minimise overheads and delays. The Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP) has the potential to secure real-time streams without exacting too high a performance price. SRTP is the addition of security to the audio/video profile used in the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP). SRTP adds confidentiality, integrity and op-tionaly authenticity to RTP media streams. This paper focuses on the integration of SRTP into Asterisk, an open-source VoIP PBX. SRTP support has recently been added to Asterisk by Mikael Magnusson. This paper analyses Magnusson’s implementation, contrasting it to a proof-of-concept implementation developed independently at Rhodes University. The interoperability of SRTP implementations cannot be taken for granted, given the relatively recent standardization of the pro-tocol, and so Magnusson’s implementation is tested against another SRTP implementation. Finally, the paper highlights a major shortcoming in Magnusson’s implementation, namely that the exchange of encryp-tion keys is done in the clear. It concludes by proposing possible solu-tions, such as TLS, IPSec and MIkey.
