Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method for applying authentication and security policies in a SIP environment. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method for use on a SIP server, comprising: establishing a persistent connection with a user agent (UA); initiating an idle connection timeout countdown timer; performing authentication of an initial REGISTER request using a first level of authentication; and terminating the persistent connection when the initial REGISTER request is not validated before expiry of the idle connection timeout countdown timer.

A method for use on a SIP server, comprising:
- establishing a persistent connection with a user agent (UA);
- initiating an idle connection timeout countdown timer;
- performing authentication of an initial REGISTER request using a first level of authentication;
- and
- terminating the persistent connection when the initial REGISTER request is not validated before expiry of the idle connection timeout countdown timer.
A method for use on a SIP server, comprising:
- establishing a persistent connection with a user agent (UA);
- performing authentication of an initial REGISTER request using a first level of authentication;
- receiving a subsequent request from the UA over the persistent connection;
- and
- performing authentication of the subsequent request using a second level of authentication, wherein the second level of authentication is lower than the first level of authentication.
A method for use on a SIP server, comprising:
- establishing a persistent connection with a user agent (UA);
- initiating an idle connection timeout countdown timer;
- terminating the persistent connection when an initial REGISTER request is not validated before expiry of the idle connection timeout countdown timer.
A network component, comprising:
- a processor configured to establish a persistent connection with a user agent (UA), initiate an idle connection timeout countdown timer, perform authentication of an initial REGISTER request using a first level of authentication, and terminate the persistent connection when the initial REGISTER request is not validated before expiry of the idle connection timeout countdown timer.
