Protect VoIP and other Internet multimedia applications with these key management mechanisms

Key management is a fundamental part of protecting Internet multimedia applications such as VoIP, video on demand, conferencing, and others, but key management protocols are difficult to design. In this chapter download from Securing VoIP Networks: Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Countermeasures, study two methods, MIKEY and STRP Security Descriptions, that are currently implemented by vendors to support security requirements to provide authentication, confidentiality, and integrity of media streams. In addition, explore ZRTP, which is currently an IETF "draft" but is likely to become a viable solution for peer-to-peer confidentiality.
