  • Zfone: a New Approach for Securing Voip Communication
    Zfone: A New Approach for Securing VoIP Communication Samuel Sotillo [email protected] ICTN 4040 Spring 2006 Abstract This paper reviews some security challenges currently faced by VoIP systems as well as their potential solutions. Particularly, it focuses on Zfone, a vendor-neutral security solution developed by PGP’s creator, Phil Zimmermann. Zfone is based on the Z Real-time Transport Protocol (ZRTP), which is an extension of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). ZRTP offers a very simple and robust approach to providing protection against the most common type of VoIP threats. Basically, the protocol offers a mechanism to guarantee high entropy in a Diffie- Hellman key exchange by using a session key that is computed through the hashing several secrets, including a short authentication string that is read aloud by callers. The common shared secret is calculated and used only for one session at a time. However, the protocol allows for a part of the shared secret to be cached for future sessions. The mechanism provides for protection for man-in-the-middle, call hijack, spoofing, and other common types of attacks. Also, this paper explores the fact that VoIP security is a very complicated issue and that the technology is far from being inherently insecure as many people usually claim. Introduction Voice over IP (VoIP) is transforming the telecommunication industry. It offers multiple opportunities such as lower call fees, convergence of voice and data networks, simplification of deployment, and greater integration with multiple applications that offer enhanced multimedia functionality [1]. However, notwithstanding all these technological and economic opportunities, VoIP also brings up new challenges.

  • The Step-By-Step Telephone Switching System: Reverting Calls Douglas A. Kerr Issue 1 October 29, 2020 ABSTRACT in a Multi-Party
    The step-by-step telephone switching system: Reverting calls Douglas A. Kerr Issue 1 October 29, 2020 ABSTRACT In a multi-party telephone line (often called by civilians a “party line”), two or more subscribers’ stations are connected to the same pair of conductors to the central office (the “line”). The point is to spread the considerable cost of the line over several subscribers’ service, allowing service to be given at a lower rate. If a subscriber served by a multi-party line attempts (perhaps unwittingly) to call another subscriber on the same line, the call cannot be completed in the normal way. For one thing, the called line is already busy, and the switching system will not gladly connect to it. Such a call, if it could somehow be completed, is called a reverting call, because the connection “reverts” to the line on which the call originated. In the step-by-step switching system, two special provisions for completing such calls were in wide use. In this article, we describe their principles and some of the details of their operation. Considerable background is given on pivotal topics.. 1 PREFACE 1.1 Reader background It is assumed that the reader is generally familiar with the operation of the step-by-step switching system. Extensive information on it can be found in the other articles in this series. 1.2 The context The context of this article is the Bell Telephone System. Non-Bell companies utilized many schemes and details only rarely, if at all, practiced in the Bell System. 1.3 Great diversity Although “consistency” was a principal tenet of the Bell System’s operation, that hardly meant “uniformity”.

  • Media Technology and Society
    MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the telegraph to the Internet. Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telephone to computers, satellite, camcorders and CD-ROM, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten ‘law’ by which new technologies are introduced into society. Winston’s fascinating account challenges the concept of a ‘revolution’ in communications technology by highlighting the long histories of such developments. The fax was introduced in 1847. The idea of television was patented in 1884. Digitalisation was demonstrated in 1938. Even the concept of the ‘web’ dates back to 1945. Winston examines why some prototypes are abandoned, and why many ‘inventions’ are created simultaneously by innovators unaware of each other’s existence, and shows how new industries develop around these inventions, providing media products for a mass audience. Challenging the popular myth of a present-day ‘Information Revolution’, Media Technology and Society is essential reading for anyone interested in the social impact of technological change. Brian Winston is Head of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Westminster. He has been Dean of the College of Communications at the Pennsylvania State University, Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University and Founding Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. His books include Claiming the Real (1995). As a television professional, he has worked on World in Action and has an Emmy for documentary script-writing.
