QuickSec for IMS

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an architectural framework that enables carriers to offer premium services, such as video and voice over IP (VoIP) to desktops and next-generation mobile devices.

With carrier adoption of an IP-based infrastructure comes increased vulnerability to a new set of security threats. New attacks targeting signaling and billing data make IMS implementations, new services, and premium content susceptible to billing fraud, unauthorized use of services, and denial of service attacks.

In order to protect sensitive call setup and billing data from interception and manipulation, the 3GPP and 3GPP2 recommend the use of IPsec to provide robust integrity, confidentiality, and authentication. SafeNet provides a complete IMS security solution for telecom equipment manufacturers looking to build robust IPsec-based security into network gateways and user equipment.
