Abstract

The IP multimedia subsystem is a basis for a significant new architecture which offers network operators the opportunity to expand their services, integrating voice and multimedia communications and delivering them into new environments with new purposes. The IMS is an overlay network on top of IP that uses SIP as the primary signaling mechanism. Using IMS bears several new security challenges. In this paper we provide an overview of IMS and its architecture. Then we represent a secure model to overcome some of IMS security challenges.
