ABSTRACT
SecSIP is a framework dedicated to the protection of SIP-based services against attacks, based upon implementation or specification vulnerabilities. SecSIP relies on stateful objects which track data involved in the occurrence of a vulnerability and/or in its exploitation and applies appropriate counter-measures. In order to specify these protection rules, SecSIP has its own domain-specific language, VeTo. This language can also associate a context to any protection rule against a particular vulnerability targeting a specific SIP device.

INTRODUCTION
SecSIP is an environment dedicated to protecting SIP protocol-based services against the exploitation of implementation or specification vulnerabilities to carry out attacks against these systems. It relies on a state model to identify the events involved in the occurrence and/or exploitation of a vulnerability. Based on the inferred automata, the environment applies appropriate countermeasures against a target. SecSIP has a specific language, called VeTo, for specifying protection rules. This language also makes it possible to associate a context with any protection against a particular vulnerability targeting a device in a SIP network.
SecSIP is a framework dedicated to the protection of SIP-based services against attacks emerging from the exploitation of implementation or specification vulnerabilities. SecSIP relies on a stateful model to track advanced protocol event sequences in vulnerability exploitation and describes the counter-measures to prevent exploitation. SecSIP offers a domain-specific language, called VeTo, to specify the protection rules. The language also allows to associate a context to each protection rule against the exploitation of a vulnerability targeting a specific SIP device.
