[Asterisk-Users] IAX/IAX2 encryption?

Hi!

For bigger setups I agree with you, but consider this scenario:

I am in a hotel or at a friend's place without my laptop. I download an 
IAX client or I posess a hardware IAX phone that I carry around with me. 
I'd like to connect to my * and place/ receive calls, and would like to 
do that securly. Most likely I will not have permission (nor time) to 
configure a VPN, FreeSWAN etc etc. That's where I truly long for 
encryption support. You'd anyway be able to turn that off on the * side 
for your large infrastructure scenario.

Sounds convincing?

Cheers, Philipp
