Better H.235 Password Authentication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

lately I had a number of complaints that H.235 password authentication
with GnuGk didn't work quite as well as expected.

While MD5 based authentication works OK, MD5 can't really be considered
secure today and a number of endpoints don't support it.

SHA1 based authentication as GnuGk currently does it is not compatible
with many devices and I believe thats at least partly GnuGk's fault.

What GnuGk is currently lacking completely is support for SHA256 based
authentication, like eg. Polycom HDX devices support.

Crypto stuff is always tricky to get right and its not practical for a
single user to fund the implementation for all the work necessary to
get password authentication right, just be cause one of his devices
won't work with GnuGk.

How about we pool together all users who would like to see better
password authentication ?

Please contact me, if you would like to see better authentication and
if you have preferences which methods or devices should be supported.

Regards,
Jan
