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."
