[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk <-> Skype anywhere/anyhow?

[Mark Hulber]

The paper is definitely interesting and I commend them for their effort 
but it doesn't represent a complete understanding of the Skype protocol 
to the extent that an Asterisk server could speak the Skype protocol.  
They say that much of the Skype protocol is encrypted and needs to be 
inferred to this point from the types and locations of messages that are 
being sent.
