The telephone network is a critical platform for communication, used by all levels of society - government, the private sector and the general public. The shift to telephone services based on voice-over-IP technology holds the promise of significantly reducing costs for communication services. However, the Internet has long been plagued by a variety of network attacks. Reports of denial-of-service attacks, viruses and break-in attempts frequently appear in the world news. A major impediment to confidence in voice-over-IP services is the risk of attacks on its infrastructure, and the potential for using weaknesses in voice-over-IP infrastructure to launch attacks on the existing telephone network.

电话网络是社会各阶层-政府、私营部门和一般公众-使用的一个重要通信平台。向基于IP语音技术的电话服务的转变有望大幅降低通信服务的成本。然而，互联网长期以来一直受到各种网络攻击的困扰。有关拒绝服务攻击、病毒和入侵企图的报道经常出现在世界新闻中。对IP语音服务的信心的一个主要障碍是其基础设施受到攻击的风险，以及利用IP语音基础设施的弱点对现有电话网络发动攻击的可能性。
