Secured Network Conferencing using VOIP

Introduction:
VoIP is a set of rules, also known as protocols, and devices that enable users to make
phone calls over the Internet. "VoIP systems transmit signals to set up and tear down calls
and media to make it possible for users to hear each other talk. These signals and media
are sent over networks as packets just like other forms of data. nother term for VoIP is
!packet telephony.!
VOIP
"hort for Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP describes the category of hardware and
software that enables people to make telephone calls via the Internet.
#$ years ago Internet didn!t e%ist. Interactive communications were only made by
telephone at P"T& line . Today we can see a real revolution in communication world,
everybody begins to use P's and Internet for job and free time to communicate each
other, to e%change data (like images, sounds, documents) and, sometimes, to talk each
other using applications like Internet Phone. It starts to diffuse a common idea that could
be the future and that can allow real*time vocal communication+ VoIP
Advantages and Disadvantages of VOIP Technology
,ith all the acronyms flying around these days, sometimes it-s hard to know just what a
set of initials stands for. V.IP stands for Voice .ver Internet Protocol. V.IP often
mas/uerades by other names as well, such as+ IP Telephony, Internet telephony, and
digital phone.
&ow that you know what V.IP stands for. V.IP is the latest, hottest trend in telephone
service. V.IP makes it possible to have voice conversations over the Internet through the
use of Internet phones.
&ow this ability to have conversations via your computer has many advantages. .ne is
that it makes it easy for business people to stay connected and in touch. V.IP technology
also has the advantage of giving people from around the globe an opportunity to talk
directly for generally much less than long distance charges would be. The savings on
telephone charges alone make V.IP highly attractive to many people.
,hile these are great advantages, there is a downside. 0ecause of its newness, V.IP
technology is not /uite as good overall as ordinary telephone service. 1any people who
use Internet telephony complain about the reception they get. This technology is rapidly
improving, though, and some V.IP providers already have pretty darn good e/uipment
out there.
Too, unless your digital telephone is directly connected to a landline phone company, you
will be at the mercy of power outages. There-s also a problem with Internet providers
going down and leaving you stranded without telephone service. "o many e%perts
recommend that you keep a landline or cell phone along with your Internet phone. This,
of course, pushes up costs which makes V.IP telephones less desirable to many folks.
nother downside to V.IP technology that-s very important to know about is that it is
susceptible to identity theft. 0ecause many V.IP service providers do not have secure
lines2yet2your calls can be listened to by people you aren-t aware are listening in.
It-s a little like the old days when the telephone was first invented and mass produced.
People called through what were call 3party4 lines that meant anyone could listen2and
they did. ,e humans just can-t resist eavesdropping. Today, though, this can also make it
easy for those unscrupulous, well, thugs to rip off your personal and confidential
information. "o when choosing a V.IP service provider, you want to be sure you-re
getting the most secure line as possible.
nd just like when the telephone was first invented, V.IP technology will take some
time to perfect. 0ut it is technology that-s here to stay. s people get busier and are
attempting to multi*task everything, being able to have a telephone conversation while
you continue to work on your computer, all in one simple package, is just too good to
resist. "o the one thing you can count on is that in a year or two, V.IP telephones will be
practically as common as cell phones2and probably with e/uipment and service plans
available that are as good as cell phone manufacturers and service providers have now.
e!uire"ent for the co"#any :
To develope a VoIP environment for sending of te%t and voice by implementing auto
security is included for both te%t and voice packets
$%ISTIN& S'ST$(:
In the present day 5otmail "erver, 1"& "erver provide separate windows for
transmitting and receiving te%t and voice are available and in 6ahoo "erver the voice is
stored in a file and then it is converted into packets and it is transmitted by the use of 5alf
duple% communication. 0oth the windows for voice and te%t cannot be used
simultaneously to transmit or receive. lso security of the te%t or voice packets is
optional.
POPOS$D S'ST$(:
This ""ecured &etwork 'onferencing 7sing VoIP" evolves in the VoIP environment.
"ending of te%t and voice using single window is possible. uto security is included for
both te%t and voice packets. IP Telephony can be attached with the system in the Intranet
environment directly and in Internet environment through VoIP server.
The Voice over Internet Protocol merges the VoIP devices like IP Telephony, Palms,
P8s, etc. over IP network for communication, in which case the source and destination
may be telephone network or computer network.
In the proposed system, we implement the voice conferrencing between systems in 9&.
The systems should have head sets attached to it.
A)stract*S#ecification+
The :ava provides all the packages, classes, and methods necessary to establish and
maintain real time audio;data conferencing sessions over IP data networks. :ava provides
transformation compatibility over various networks and operating systems. The
audio;data conferencing is done in point*to*point fashion, 1ulticasting and 0roadcasting,
satisfying the users re/uirements.
ny user can join in the conference by registering himself to the server. "imilarly many
users can join in it. The current on*line user list will be displayed on the screen. The user
can communicate with them and the conversation is made both on te%t and voice based in
the form of unicasting or broadcasting depending on the necessity.
