Experiences in VoIP telephone network security policy at the University of Applied Sciences (FHTW) Berlin

Abstract

The lecture will present a test of the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network at the University of Applied Sciences (FHTW) Berlin based on Cisco VoIP phones model 7970G as an example in test of security policy of VoIP networks to find out the security gaps and to support improving security of the FHTW's VoIP campus network. Configuration options of the VoIP phone used at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin will be presented. The finding, installing and configuring products for testing the security of VoIP network and VoIP phones have to be dicussed and the security test of Cisco VoIP phones presented offer ways for make more secure configuration and steps to improve the overall security of VoIP networks. The presented results are backed by the long term ERASMUS TN co-operation between the University of Applied Sciences Berlin and the University of Rousse.
