Summary:                    [patch] iax2 encryption failed on asterisk 1.4.26.2
Description: 
I installed new asterisk 1.4.26.2 release as recommended, because of iax2
security issues and added the new options with come with new release.
Problem is, if encryption is enabled, I always get following error
message:
"host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx failed to authenticate as 7100"
As I miss something? If encryption is disabled, call can be placed without
any problem!
In earlier version (asterisk-1.4.26.1) it worked perfectly!

If I disable encryption on server and enable on client side, I get message
like "decryption failed" as expectet.

    IAX2 encryption regression

    The IAX2 Call Token security patch inadvertently broke the use of
    encryption due to the reorganization of code in the socket_process()
    function.  When encryption is used, an incoming full frame must first
    be decrypted before the information elements can be parsed.  The
    security release mistakenly moved IE parsing before decryption in
    order to process the new Call Token IE.  To resolve this, decryption
    of full frames is once again done before looking into the frame.  This
    involves searching for an existing callno, checking the pvt to see if
    encryption is turned on, and decrypting the packet before the internal
    fields of the full frame are accessed.
