Generating a Biometric Iris Key for VoIP Security

S. Bhuvaneshwari; Dr. P. Arul

Over the years, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) becomes one of the dominant technologies in the world of telecommunications. The VoIP technology makes use of Internet Protocol (IP) to make voice calls. One of the most attractive feature of VoIP is the interactive communication between the two parties they render services like video and voice conferencing .VoIP also have lot of inherited Internet vulnerabilities like Dos, Network Sniffing, Eavesdropping, Spoofing, SPIT, which are all threat to the VoIP technology .Therefore appropriate security policies should be implemented to avoid today’s era of cyber theft. Traditional Cryptography can be applied to the digital packets to achieve information security. Blending of cryptography and Biometric becomes a powerful security tool to secure VoIP. Using unique biometric identity of a person, the keys can be generated which are used as a cryptographic key for Encrypting and Decrypting the digital data for VoIP security. In this paper aims to provide an overview of VoIP security issues ,biometric cryptosystem, threats involved in VoIP, and Security measures for eavesdropping threat in VoIP technology.
