US National Science Foundation to fund VoIP vulnerability study

Business IT - Technology

The USA's National Science Foundation (NSF) has initiated a three year study to develop a geographically distributed, secure test bed to analyse vulnerabilities in VoIP.
It will investigate voice spam prevention, denial-of-service, quality of service, and 911 service dependability. It will also be used to discover security holes arising from operating VoIP with conventional phone networks.

Grants totalling $US600,000 have been awarded to the University of North Texas to lead a multi-university collaboration including researchers and resources at Columbia University, Purdue University and the University of California-Davis.

According to a press release issued by the NSF, "the team is committed to disseminating its findings throughout academia, industry and government, giving all technology developers guidelines for preventing security breaches."

The full press release with contact details for the researchers can be found here.
