Title: Encrypted voip? Post by: NewbeeObi123 on October 16, 2016, 02:01:22 pm Hi,
Is Google voice encrypted? If not is there another voip provider that is that works with Obi? Thanks. Title: Re: Encrypted voip? Post by: drgeoff on October 16, 2016, 03:32:36 pm No and no.
Title: Re: Encrypted voip? Post by: Mango on October 18, 2016, 09:23:45 pm No service provider offers fully encrypted calls via the PSTN, but if you wish you may set up a VPN between two or more locations, with an OBi at each end, and make encrypted calls over your VPN.
Unless you're discussing trade secrets worth $X,XXX,XXX or more, this is likely more trouble than it's worth. Keep your home network locked down tight (change default passwords, use WPA2 with a strong key, don't use DMZ or port forwarding, use antivirus software, don't leave your network physically accessible to the public) and call it a day. Title: Re: Encrypted voip? Post by: restamp on October 19, 2016, 02:51:47 pm I have always presumed that encrypting a VoIP channel increases latency. Is this indeed the case, and if so, would anyone care to speculate as to how much of an increase is involved?

No, it is not a given that encryption would introduce additional delay into a digital transmission system. Many encryption systems are based on XORing the serial bitstream with a scrambling sequence. That does not introduce delay, nor does the subsequent XORing with the same scrambling sequence to recover the original at the descrambler. |
