[SIPForum-discussion] Help: IP Address authentication

[Gauravkumar Raval]

Hi Olabode,

Its difficult to understand and answer with limited information. Can
you explain more about how you have planed to authenticate IP address?

This is what I feel,
IP address is comparatively easier to spoof. MAC address can too, with
somewhat more effort.
SIP works at top layer of network model, and that makes a security
mechanism difficult to configure and operate at high performance.
SIP has different security mechanisms for various stage of signalling.
And yes, if you have transparent and/or efficient (in terms of
resource consumption and SIP standard) IP address authentication
mechanism, its really helpful.
