Medium- and large-scale carriers of IP traffic use the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for converged voice and video across many transports. IMS, however, does not completely specify how to secure the data and control information. IMS Security: How to Protect Multimedia Networks Against Attacks, from SafeNet, gives an excellent overview of a number of the security threats and mitigations for IMS. It focuses on several security technologies, particularly IPsec, for protecting traffic flowing beween the many entities in the IMS protocol.
