If you look for 'SIP TLS' instead of 'SIP SSL', you'll find a lot more
useful information, because SSL became TLS many years ago, and the SIP
RFCs only document usage of SIP over TLS, not SIP over SSL.

In any case, Asterisk 1.6.2 has support for SIP over TLS natively. If
you need SIP/TLS in an older version of Asterisk, one method that many
people have used successfully is to put a SIP proxy (Kamailio, OpenSIPS,
etc.) in front of Asterisk, having it handle the SIP/TLS <-> SIP/UDP
conversion.
