Description of Security Features (continued)
Description
Each Cisco Unified IP Phone contains a unique manufacturing
installed certificate (MIC), which is used for device authentication.
The MIC is a permanent unique proof of identity for the phone, and
allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to authenticate the
phone.
After you configure a SRST reference for security and then reset the
dependent devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, the TFTP server adds the SRST certificate to the
phone cnf.xml file and sends the file to the phone. A secure phone
then uses a TLS connection to interact with the SRST-enabled
router.
Uses SRTP to ensure that the media streams between supported
devices proves secure and that only the intended device receives
and reads the data. Includes creating a media master key pair for the
devices, delivering the keys to the devices, and securing the
delivery of the keys while the keys are in transport.
Ensures that all SCCP signaling messages that are sent between the
device and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are
encrypted.
Implements parts of the certificate generation procedure that are too
processing-intensive for the phone, and it interacts with the phone
for key generation and certificate installation. The CAPF can be
configured to request certificates from customer-specified
certificate authorities on behalf of the phone, or it can be configured
to generate certificates locally.
Defines whether the phone is non-secure, authenticated, or
encrypted. See the
