Topics for future podcasts? (VOIPSA survey provides some ideas)

Recently VOIPSA surveyed the members of its Technical Advisory Board and one of the questions asked was what topics TAB members would like to hear about in a future podcast.  The list of responses is below.  Are there any that you would specifically be interested in?  If so, please do leave a comment to this blog entry or send us an email.  Thanks.

  • IMS/3GPP security model
  • IMS convergence, UMA phones
  • How to 0wn a VOIP call manager, and how to defend against such 0wnage.
  • VoIP IDS
  • Softphone vunerabilities
  • Wireless voip security
  • A  roadmap of issues, i.e. how & when the VoIPsa believes the issues will happen
  • Best Practices and testing
  • Service provider/carrier opinions, implementation discussions, etc...
  • VoIP over MPLS networks
  • VoIP threats and countermeasures
  • I like the sessions that take a specific VoIP Security topic and try to educate the listeners on that topic.
  • Real World VoIP Threats
  •  VoIP Security Best Practices
  •  PacketCable Security
  • More related to peer to peer voice, and its growth, and what impediments need to be addressed.
  • Privacy and security

(Note that this was a completely separate survey from the ongoing Blue Box listener survey.  Folks have been suggesting ideas there, too, and we'll discuss that in an upcoming show.)

Why "Blue Box"?

  • We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
