TL;DR

Syntax notation one (ASN.1) is a standard, flexible method that describes data structures for representing, encoding, transmitting, and decoding data and is a precise, formal notation that removes ambiguities.

Abstract

Voice Over IP Security _____________________________________________________________________________ which may be used in large deployments for gateway decomposition. These standards may be used to ease message handling with media gateways, or on the other hand they can easily be used to implement terminals without any intelligence, similar to today's phones connected to a PBX using a stimulus protocol.

ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication ReviewStrong password-only authenticated key exchange

529 Citations1996David P. Jablon

A new simple password exponential key exchange method (SPEKE) is described, which belongs to an exclusive class of methods which provide authentication and key establishment over an insecure channel using only a small password, without risk of offline dictionary attack.

A Comparison of SIP and H.323 for Internet Telephony

119 Citations1998Henning Schulzrinne, Jonathan Rosenberg

This paper compares SIP and H.323 on complexity, extensibility, scalability, and features; SIP favors the more lightweight Internet approach based on HTTP.

Voice over IPsec: analysis and solutions

95 Citations2003Raphael O. Barbieri, Danilo Bruschi +1 more

An efficient solution for packet header compression, which is called cIPsec, for VoIPsec traffic, and results show that the proposed compression scheme significantly reduces the overhead of packet headers, thus increasing the effective bandwidth used by the transmission.

Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE<title>Comparison of H.323 and SIP for IP telephony signaling</title>

46 Citations1999I. Dalgic, Hanlin Fang

This work investigates and compares these two protocols in terms of Functionality, Quality of Service (QoS), Scalability, Flexibility, Interoperability, and Ease of Implementation, and notes that H.323 and SIP are improving themselves by learning from each other, and the differences between them are diminishing with each new version.

STUN - Simple Traversal of UDP Through Network Address Translators

21 Citations2003Jonathan Rosenberg, Rohan Mahy +2 more

STUN works with many existing NATs, and does not require any special behavior from them, as a result, it allows a wide variety of applications to work through existing NAT infrastructure.

Cryptosystem architectures for very high throughput multimedia encryption: the RPK solution

20 Citations2003A. Romeo, G. Romolotti +2 more

The paper describes RPK architecture solutions yielding low-complexity implementations, particularly suitable for encrypting high bit-rates multimedia contents, and shows the implementation advantages of the RPK approach.
