Session Initiation Protocol Attacks and Challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become widely used in current internet protocols. It is a text-based protocol much like Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) and Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). SIP is a strong enough signaling protocol on the internet for establishing, maintaining, and terminating session. In this paper the areas of security and attacks in SIP are discussed. We consider attacks from diverse related perspectives. The authentication schemes are compared, the representative existing solutions are highlighted, and several remaining research challenges are identified. Finally, the taxonomy of SIP threat will be presented.

Security testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
متن کاملDetecting Denial of Service Message Flooding Attacks in SIP based Services
Increasing the popularity of SIP based services (VoIP, IPTV, IMS infrastructure) lead to concerns about its security. The main signaling protocol of next generation networks and VoIP systems is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Inherent vulnerabilities of SIP, misconfiguration of its related components and also its implementation deficiencies cause some security concerns in SIP based infra...
متن کاملSecurity Analysis of Lightweight Authentication Scheme with Key Agreement using Wireless Sensor Network for Agricultural Monitoring System
Wireless sensor networks have many applications in the real world and have been developed in various environments. But the limitations of these networks, including the limitations on the energy and processing power of the sensors, have posed many challenges to researchers. One of the major challenges is the security of these networks, and in particular the issue of authentication in the wireles...
متن کاملBiometrics based authentication scheme for session initiation protocol
Many two-factor challenge-response based session initiation protocol (SIP) has been proposed, but most of them are vulnerable to smart card stolen attacks and password guessing attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel three-factor SIP authentication scheme using biometrics, password and smart card, and utilize the pi calculus-based formal verification tool ProVerif to prove that the proposed ...
متن کاملAn Improved Secure SIP Registration Mechanism to Avoid VoIP Threats
The session initiation protocol is one the most popular protocols that is used in Internet protocol multimedia subsystems and adopted by a wide range of networking vendors. This research suggests a secure distributed session initiation protocol-based architectural model that can be deployed in service provider data centers to maintain the service availability, scalability, and security. This re...
