Session Initiation Protocol: Security Issues Overview

…ernet Protocol).

Mainly represented by SIP, VoIP protocols and implementations contain several vulnerabilities, particularly related to their complexities and in the face of interoperability of telephony equipment’s.

It was by identifying a lack of literature with focus in security and potential vulnerabilities of the SIP Protocol that we propose in this document. We attempt to provide a theoretical analysis from security aspects used by one of the signaling call protocols, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

It is intended to lucidly illustrate and identify threats, vulnerabilities, security mechanisms, developed methods and protocols and, finally over time improvements.
