SIPssert and the journey of testing OpenSIPS

Our previous post presented SIPssert - an OpenSIPS Testing framework that does conformance testing for VoIP platforms (and not only). In this post we will describe how the OpenSIPS project has already started to benefit from the SIPssert capabilities in order to detect and prevent bugs as well as to avoid regressions and ensure that … Continue reading SIPssert and the journey of testing OpenSIPS

SIPssert – an OpenSIPS Testing Framework

A SIP system/platform consists of multiple components, that interact in various ways to provide complex features (such as call routing, call pickup, registration and authentication, call parking, conferencing, IVRs and others). Each of the component that takes part of the system consists of both a software and its configuration, therefore in order to verify the … Continue reading SIPssert – an OpenSIPS Testing Framework

How To Generate Self-Signed STIR/SHAKEN Certificates

After having received some positive feedback on our presentation on the topic at hand at ClueCon '22, let's go through a more detailed run-down of all steps required, from a cryptographic point of view, in order to first become a fictive STIR/SHAKEN CA (Certification Authority), then to begin issuing signed certificates for various (also fictive) … Continue reading How To Generate Self-Signed STIR/SHAKEN Certificates

MSRP Gateway

The majority of SIP User Agents still only support the MESSAGE method for providing Instant Messaging. However, modern Unified Communications(UC) ecosystems and more advanced messaging services, such as RCS(Rich Communication Services), are built on top of Session Mode messaging, which uses the MSRP protocol. With the addition of the new msrp_gateway module, OpenSIPS 3.3 introduces … Continue reading MSRP Gateway
