It is possible to enable both PSK SRTP on the IP Phone and configure
USK SRTP at the Call Server. If USK SRTP does not negotiate for a call,
PSK SRTP attempts to negotiate during a call. If the two endpoints for the
call have PSK SRTP enabled, the call is encrypted using PSK SRTP.
By default, Media Security is enabled on the system. To configure USK
SRTP, see “USK SRTP configuration” (page 395) . To configure PSK
SRTP on the IP Phone, see “PSK SRTP configuration” (page 395) .
USK SRTP configuration Use LD 17 to configure a system-wide Class
of Service parameter for IP Phones called Media Security System Default
(MSSD). The system default value is one of the following:
Always Secure IP (MSAW)
Best Effort (MSBT)
Never (MSNV)
When you change the MSSD parameter, the system updates any IP
Phones that have a Class of Service value of MSSD to use the new MSSD
parameter.
Use LD 11 to configure the Media Security Class of Service on each IP
Phone. The IP Phone can have any of the following values:
MSSD
Best Effort
Always
Never
For more information about configuring system-wide Media Security and
configuring Class of Service, see Security Management Fundamentals
(NN43001-604).
PSK SRTP configuration The SRTP PSK (Pre-Shared Key) media
encryption feature provides encrypted media. A preshared secret is
embedded in the Nortel IP Phone to generate and to exchange encryption
parameters without any Call Server involvement. This feature provides
SRTP capabilities to IP Phones managed by call servers, which do not
support SRTP USK (UNIStim Key). The SRTP PSK feature must not be
used in networks where phone-to-phone one-way delay is greater than
200 ms.
You can configure an SRTP PSK payload type ID for exchanging SRTP
PSK encryption parameters, either manually or by using automatic
provisioning. You cannot manually configure the SRTP PSK payload type
