New research aims to plug holes in VOIP before they happen

A University of North Texas-led collaboration is developing a geographically distributed, secure test bed to analyze Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) vulnerabilities. VoIP allows people to make toll-free phone calls over the Internet. Some 24 million U.S. households are predicted to use the new technology by 2008. The test bed projecct aims to identify security issues and solutions before damage is done. Credit: Nicolle Rager Fuller, NSF
