Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones Table 1-3 Overview of Security Features (continued) Feature Signaling Authentication Manufacturing installed certificate Secure SRST reference (SCCP phones only) Media encryption Signaling Encryption (SCCP phones only) CAPF (Certificate Authority Proxy Function) Description Uses the TLS protocol to validate that no tampering has occurred to signaling packets during transmission. Each Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G contains a unique MIC, which is used for device authentication. The MIC is a permanent unique proof of identity for the phone, and allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to authenticate the phone. After you configure a SRST reference for security and then reset the dependent devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, the TFTP server adds the SRST certificate to the phone cnf.xml file and sends the file to the phone. A secure phone then uses a TLS connection to interact with the SRST-enabled router. Uses SRTP to ensure that the media streams between supported devices proves secure and that only the intended device receives and reads the data. Includes creating a media master key pair for the devices, delivering the keys to the devices, and securing the delivery of the keys while the keys are in transport. Ensures that all SCCP signaling messages that are sent between the device and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are encrypted. Implements parts of the certificate generation procedure that are too processing-intensive for the phone, and it interacts with the phone for key generation and certificate installation. The CAPF can be configured to request certificates from customer-specified certificate authorities on behalf of the phone, or it can be configured to generate certificates locally.
