Security (SRTP/SSL)


Select "SRTP/TLS" as your wanted encryption method.





Function


Description 


Activate security


Enable the encryption by choosing "Yes". After finishing all settings click "OK" that the phone reconnect to the SIP server.






TLS Port


This Port (TCP) is explicitly needed for secure phone connects. Ask your administrator or provider to get the right port number.






Certificate


Registering with SRTP/TLS to the SIP server is only possible with a valid certificate. You will get such a certificate from your administrator or provider.

Often the certificate files are provided as downloads. You can install the certificate with a double click onto the file.






SAVP


YES (SAVP):

The audio data are encrypted (SRTP). Only if SAVP is active, all data will be encrypted totally between software and SIP-Servcie (Provider, PBX).


NO (AVP):


Only the SIP communication is encrypted, NO AUDIO DATA (RTP)!!! This variant (AVP) is used often used to override pre-reserverd SIP Ports in routers (e.g. Speedport, Vodafone Box).


Normally the SIP part can always be encrypted between software and SIP service (Provider, PBX). If any party expects a full encrypted communication (TLS + SRTP), the connection will be terminated if any part isn't encrypted.






Meaning TLS


Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide security and data integrity for communications over the Internet.






Meaning SRTP


The Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (or SRTP) defines an encrypted profile of RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).






Meaning AES


The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government and was announced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) since 2000

AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the NSA for secret information.







Symbols of the encryption status






Funktion


Beschreibung 


Green key


Encrypted connection to the SIP server has been established.

(Be sure to pay attention to SAVP)






Red key


Encrypted connection to the SIP ist NOT possible.






Green frame


The connection on this line is encrypted.






Yellow frame


The status of the line is determined.






Red frame


The connection on this line is NOT encrypted.







IMPORTANT!

SRTP without TLS

We only support SRTP in combination with TLS. Only with TLS the secure key exchange can be guaranteed. Regarding to that it's not possible to use only SRTP without TLS.
