ABSTRACT
Information Security has emerged as one of the biggest concerns that network administrators and other stakeholders face today. Most data custodians face Information Security risks on a daily basis; thus, it is up to Information Security professionals to research these threats and exploits to secure private information from unauthorized access and mismanagement. It can be easily stated that familiarity with a particular technology can be helpful in securing information. It can also be stated that new and emerging technologies are harder to secure, but not impossible.
This paper will consider and focus on both technical and legal aspects, and approaches on how to secure Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Data Network's facility to facility traffic in particular. Both technical and legal aspects are important in protecting VoIP Networks. This paper will take the following approach: The History of VoIP and short comings, Security Issues of VoIP (current gaps), Current Solutions for the current security issues, Future Solutions for VoIP security and Future concerns more specifically the passing of Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and its impact on VoIP security.
