Hi Ferianto!

The first thing you can is to sniff with Ethereal a SIP communication
with and without TLS. You can see and show that with TLS you can not
access to the payload of TCP.
You can also see the RFC 4346 about TLS
(ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4346.txt
<ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4346>).

Hope it will help you ton convice your lecturer.

Regards

Greg
