Weaknesses of SIP Authentication Scheme for Converged VoIP Networks

Q. Pu

Abstract

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is commonly used to establish Voice over IP (VoIP) calls. Mostly recently, Yoon et al. proposed an efficient SIP authentication scheme in a converged VoIP network based on elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) [E-J. Yoon, K-Y. Yoo, C. Kim, Y-S. Hong, M. Jo, H-H. Chen, A Secure and Efficient SIP Authentication Scheme for Converged VoIP Networks, Computer Communications (2010), doi: 10.1016/j.comcom. 2010.03.026.]. In this letter, we first demonstrate that it is insecure against off-line password guessing attack.
