[SR-Users] Eavesdropping SRTP sessions

Hi, If you are using SRTP your conversations will be encrypted, so nobody
could eavesdrop it. Only if  your Kamailio was compromised they could be
eavesdropped.

I think you are confusing SRTP (media) with signaling (SIP). You should
implement SIP over TLS too, it makes no sense to use SRTP without encrypt
signaling. If not, it could be possible to sniff conversations with a MiTM
but, anyway, I don't know any tool which supports it.

Here I speak a bit about VoIP encryption, I think it could help you:

Best regards.
