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

Using the Diameter Client Capability of OpenSIPS 3.3

In the previous iteration, OpenSIPS 3.2 introduced a first version of the support for Diameter protocol peering by leveraging the freeDiameter project and its excellent C libraries. Building on top of this, OpenSIPS 3.3 now offers a way of building and sending arbitrary Diameter protocol requests, from the opensips.cfg script. This brief post will teach … Continue reading Using the Diameter Client Capability of OpenSIPS 3.3
