Abstract
As more and more people are using VoIP softphones in their laptop and smart phones, vulnerabilities in VoIP protocols and systems could introduce new threats to the computer that runs the VoIP softphone. In this paper, we investigate the security ramifications that VoIP softphones expose their host to and ways to mitigate such threats.
