On applying SIP security to networked appliances

The importance of security to Networked Applicances is unarguable. In one of the worst possible scenarios, a successful attacker may gain control of the networked devices in a victim's home. Disastrous consequnces are not difficult to imagine. In this work, we provide a general security threats analysis for Networked Appliances and discuss the implications of using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for security.
