Principal Investigator: Feng Cao, Saadat Malik Project Description: This project attempts to outline the potential security issues faced by the critical infrastructure sectors as they transform their traditional phone systems into VoIP systems. Recommendations are presented for ensuring the security of Critical Infrastructure in the face of imminent transformation to VoIP. Project Impact: This project helps CI sectors to understand the security impact and prepare for the upgrade into IP telephony systems from the traditional telephony systems. Project Details: Voice over IP (VoIP) is being adopted to replace the traditional circuit-switched infrastructure for telephony services. This trend has an enormous impact on the critical infrastructures sectors, which will progressively become more dependent in part or as a whole on VoIP services. Phone communications and security are relevant concerns for most critical infrastructure sector organizations today. In the future, this concern will evolve into a new set of challenges and opportunities brought forward by the deployment of VOIP in these organizations. This study attempts to outline the potential security issues faced by the critical infrastructure sectors as they transform their traditional phone systems into VoIP systems. Traditional voice security challenges are looked through the prism of the new VoIP paradigm, and recommendations are made on how to address these. Recommendations are presented for ensuring the security of critical infrastructure in the face of imminent transformation to VoIP. Project Deliverables: Research papers Status: In progress |
