Abstract

Over the last years Voice-over-IP (VoIP) is getting widespread a dop tion from business and residential customers.The preference towards VoIP ser vices stems from the fact that VoIP provides many ways to com mu ni ca te, with a lower cost than traditional telephony. However, VoIP in its present form may allow malicious users to exploit a number of vulnerabilities, make bulk un so li cited telephony calls and send bulk unsolicited instant messages. This ex p loi ta tion is referred to as Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT). In this pa per we int roduce an antiSPIT management architecture, by using on to logies, which allow domain administrators to detect and handle SPIT auto ma tically, ba s ed on pre de fined requirements and preferences.
