QuickSec for IMS
Robust IPsec Security for the IP Multimedia Subsystem
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an architectural framework that enables carriers
to offer premium services, such as video and voice over IP (VoIP) to desktops and
next-generation mobile devices.
With carrier adoption of an IP-based infrastructure comes increased vulnerability
to a new set of security threats. New attacks targeting signaling and billing data
make IMS implementations, new services, and premium content susceptible to billing
fraud, unauthorized use of services, and denial of service attacks.
In order to protect sensitive call setup and billing data from interception and
manipulation, the 3GPP and 3GPP2 recommend the use of IPsec to provide robust integrity,
confidentiality, and authentication. SafeNet provides a complete IMS security solution
for telecom equipment manufacturers looking to build robust IPsec-based security
into network gateways and user equipment.
