[Users] trusting peers

Hi all! I want to differ between _incoming_ SIP requests from trusted peers and from untrused (for different call routing). I came to the following solutions. All of them has some disadvantages, and I would like to now which you would prefer: 1. src_ip: incoming request are authenticated using the src_ip (only in TCP mode useful) +: easy to implement +: easy to differ authenticated from unauthenticated incoming calls -: lots of configuration (IP addresses may change, ) This can be implemented using if src_ip==... blocks in openser.cfg, which would require the change the script everytime the IP addresses are changed. Also requires restart of the proxy. Also from_gw() from lcr module can be used. But this would interfere with the already used lcr tasks and IP addresses. Maybe copy/paste the code into a new function called from_peer(). 2. IPsec: makes it hard to differ trusted from untrusted incomig requests in the application. Again verification of the src_ip would be necessary. -: requires sharing secrets with each peer +: works also with TCP and TLS unaware proxies 3. TLS with certificates signed by me. Then, if my SIP proxy only uses my root CA, all authenticated TLS connection must be from my trusted peers. +: simple, as long as there is only 1 perring-club to authenticate +: works with current (open)ser -: can't use public CA roots -: requires signing of the public key of the peer 4. TLS with public signed certificates. (open)ser would validate the TLS certificate. But after that, I need some function like tls_is_from_trusted() which checks the Subject of the certificate against a list of trusted peers. +: can use public signed CA roots +: allows to use TLS for incoming trusted and incoming untrusted peers -: need some more tls specific functions in (open)ser -: certificate costs $$$ 5. Digest Auth between proxies -: uac module is not standard conform (CSeq Problem) -: requires sharing secrets with each peer If I have forgotten some possibilities or made some mistakes please correct me. regards klaus
