Voice over IP solution

SNOCER is an research project supported within the Sixth Framework Programme of the EU Commission.

The project acronym stands for " Low Cost Tools for Secure and Highly Available VoIP Communication Services ", and as the name indicates the project has a profound emphasis on securing VoIP infrastructure.

The solutions investigated in the SNOCER project will lead to the development of security enhancement tools that allow the service provider to monitor the network, detect irregularities such as a denial of service attack or failure of a certain component and taking the appropriate measures to handle these irregularities. These tools will further offer the service provider with the appropriate means for specifying customized rules for enforcing provider specific security policies.

Thereby small and medium enterprises entering the VoIP market and aiming at providing VoIP services coupled with their own innovative solutions would be offered effective and yet low cost solutions for securing their VoIP infrastructure and ensuring the reliability and high availability of their services.

The SNOCER project has a duration of 24 months, and started out November 1st 2004. The project has 6 partners.
