There are many aspects to the security of H.323 videoconferencing systems. Some of these are shared with H.320 ISDN-based systems, e.g. the physical security of the equipment itself. The greater focus with IP-based systems lies in the ability for attackers to ‘snoop’ the conferencing data in transit, or to attack the H.323 components themselves over the Internet, leading to a loss of service or other undesirable consequences.

In many cases, it will not be possible to physically separate H.323 and campus network traffic, and it will be necessary for all traffic to share the same physical links. In this case there are some methods that can be used to provide some level of protection to H.323 traffic, above that provided to the campus traffic.

This guide discusses the potential security threats to an Internet Protocol (IP)-based videoconferencing system and the measures that can be taken to help combat those threats. The guide is aimed at sites deploying such H.323 videoconferencing systems in the UK Higher and Further Education communities, but may be equally applicable elsewhere.
