Abstract
Voice over IP systems require a new infrastructure of security services. The demand is currently growing and deploys basic-authentication in the first step. Scalable implementations however further evolution of this technologies. This new authentication services using signed certificates and crypto-promise to solve current scalability and management issues. Additionally, if carefully implemented, they can serve for other applications besides VoIP as well. Certificate-authorities, directories and others backend services build the trust environment that delivers the required credentials to network elements, servers and user equipment. All this new backend-services generate a new category of IP traffic.
This paper roughly estimates the expected volume of authentication-traffic and emphasises the importance to select the right services, to handle the possible traffic surge.
