Title
Obscuring users' identity in VoIP/IMS environments.
Abstract
Next Generation Networks bring together wired and wireless architectures, under the umbrella of an all IP architecture. Architectures such as the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) offer advanced services at very low cost but also inherit IP infrastructure's security and privacy issues. The utilized signalling protocol (i.e. Session Initiation Protocol) and the related specifications are both overlooking users' privacy, leaving public and private identities unprotected to eavesdroppers. Existing solutions require either the existence of a public key infrastructure or the establishment of the appropriate mechanism for managing symmetric keys.
