Making VoIP more secure

The U.S. National Science Foundation recently gave the University of North Texas $600,000 to research VoIP security. The research will involve multiple universities, including Columbia University, Purdue University and the University of California-Davis. The research project will span three years, and will involve research into multiple security issues that are currently a problem with VoIP, including denials of service, 911 services, VoIP spam and quality of service. Research like this will hopefully end problems like the one I wrote about yesterday in the post VoIP Security Problems.
