VoIP spam, denials of service and reliable 911 services are some of the most pertinent issues that researchers and vendors must address quickly if this technology is to make further progress.
The National Science Foundation has made a start in this matter. It has reportedly given a grant US$600,000 to researchers at University of North Texas to create a multi-university test team to study VoIP security. Other participants in this project are Columbia University, Purdue University and the University of California-Davis. Additionally, a group of VoIP vendors has formed the VoIP Security Alliance.
