A new study led by researchers at the University of North Texas will focus on IP telephony security issues. The study, which is funded by a $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, specifically examines security issues where IP networks and circuit-switched networks integrate. The project will take three years and covers spam, denial-of-service attacks, e911 and quality-of-service issues. Cal-Davis, Columbia and Purdue are also participating.
