United States: InCharge Systems, Inc. Announces Reference System for SIP Security Interoperability Testing.Byline: datta03 InCharge Systems, Inc. (ICS (1) (Internet Connection Sharing) A Windows feature that enables two or more computers to share one Internet connection. First introduced in Windows 98 Second Edition, sharing is accomplished with network address translation (NAT), which is the common method. ) released today a hosted reference system of its ACerted Trust solution, available immediately for interoperability testing. The reference system, which can be found at https://reference.inchargesys.com/, will be demonstrated Thursday, October 29, 2009 at the Illinois Institute of Technology Illinois Institute of Technology, in Chicago; coeducational; founded 1940 by a merger of Armour Institute of Technology (founded 1892) and Lewis Institute (1896). 5th Annual VoIP Conference and Expo. ACerted Trust is a solution for assuring the identity of end users and their operators that originate Session Initiation Protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. (SIP) requests for voice, video, presence or messaging communication sessions, based on the Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the (IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force ) standard RFC (Request For Comments) A document that describes the specifications for a recommended technology. Although the word "request" is in the title, if the specification is ratified, it becomes a standards document. 4474, "Enhancements for Authenticated Identity Management in the Session Initiation Protocol" In voice over Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (VoIP) telephony today, the calling line identity presented to the receiver of a phone call can be easily altered if the communication traverses the open Internet, making those communications subject to abuse by unscrupulous telemarketers, vishing attacks for financial and identity information, theft of toll service and other serious problems. ACerted Trust assigns a cryptographic signature to SIP:INVITE messages, allowing receiving entities to check with a trusted certificate authority to verify the identity asserted by the caller. This enables the identity of the caller to be verified at any point in a communication, regardless of network operator. The reference system released today is intended to support the implementation by the industry of RFC 4474 in various VoIP and SIP products and services, such as: IP-PBXs, SIP-aware firewalls, session border controllers and softswitches. End user devices such as IP phones, analog telephone adapters and software user agents such as PC softphones and mobile VoIP VoIP Mobile or 'Mobile Voice over Internet Protocol' is the application of Voice over IP technology to mobile handsets. VoIP Mobile requires a mobile handset that supports, at minimum, high speed IP communications. clients on smart phones. Services and gateways such as SIP peering federations, SIP call termination Call Termination, also known as voice termination, refers to the handing off or routing of calls from one telephone company, also known as a carrier or provider, to another telephone company. The terminating point is end point. providers and VoIP communication services providers Consumer Internet and business process applications using SIP to embed voice, instant messaging and presence. "This is the first industry release of a public test system for RFC 4474", said John Nix, Vice President - Technology Development of ICS. "We encourage the industry to use this free system to accelerate their development of compliant products, and put in place the components necessary to bring identity and security to VoIP". Today's release for interoperability testing comprises the following hosted elements: a public / private key provisioning system, a certificate authority and a SIP proxy server that will allow the validation of calls based on their digital signature, as well as demonstrate the signing of SIP messages. In addition to the reference system, ICS has contributed to the popular open source Asterisk IP PBX system a software module that implements support for RFC 4474 and interoperates with the ICS hosted reference system.
