Abstract - The present paper describes the approach and
preliminary results from the research project EUX2010SEC. The
project works closely with Voice over IP (VoIP) companies and
users. The project aims at providing better security of open
source VoIP installations. The work towards this goal is organized
by gathering researchers and practitioners around scientific
activities that range from security modeling and verification up to
testbed testing. The expected outcomes of the project are a solid
scientific and practical understanding of the security options for
setting up VoIP infrastructures, particular guidance on secure,
typical setups of such infrastructure. The project’s special focus is
on producing results relevant to the practitioners in the project,
aiming at the stimulation of innovation and the provision of
highest quality in open source based VoIP products and services.
The article describes the research-based innovation approach
used.
