IMS enables the speedy creation and deployment of new services (at least on paper). As such, it has been adopted as the architecture for next generation networks – this is true for mobile, fixed, wireless and cable networks. An important aspect of IMS is security, but I have a feeling that like current VoIP deployments, security is somewhat overlooked.
On its lowest level, IMS security requires IPsec – this encrypts and secures the actual IP packets sent over the network. I’ve written about the complexities of IPsec and IMS on the IMTC’s blog.
IPsec is hard simply because it requires a solution on the operating system level – you need to modify the network stack itself to support it. In order to deliver a complete solution for secure IMS development we’ve partnered with SafeNet, a leader in integrated security solutions. Together, we offer a pre-integrated, tested, future-proof solution for developing IMS Terminal endpoints as well as any other IMS Network element. This solution is also ideal when developing non-IMS secure VoIP network elements.
