An Energy Efficient Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol for SIP-based Green VoIP NetworksEnergy Efficient Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol • September 26th, 2017
Contract Type FiledSeptember 26th, 2017Abstract—Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is spreading across the market rapidly due to its characteristics such as low cost, flexibility implementation, and versatility of new applications etc. However, the voice packets transmitted over the Internet are not protected in most VoIP environments, and then the user’s information could be easily compromised by various malicious attacks. So an energy-efficient authenticated key agreement protocol for Session Initial Protocol (SIP) should be provided to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data communications over VoIP networks. To simplify the authentication process, several protocols adopt a verification table to achieve mutual authentication, but the protocols require the SIP server to maintain a large verification table which not only increases energy consumption but also leads to some security issues. Although several attempts have been made to address the intractable problems, designing an energy-efficient authenticated key
