The annual telephony user and developer conference ClueCon is putting a focus on VoIP security next month with a VoIP Security Roundtable that welcomes none other than email encryption pioneer, internet hero, and PGP creator Philip R. Zimmermann.
Zimmermann created PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) as an email encryption software package to ensure that your private matters stay private. Distribution of his high strength software overseas violated US cryptographic export laws at the time resulting in a criminal investigation by the US government.
Charges were eventually dropped and cryptography export policies were relaxed. Since then Zimmermann has been working on Zfone, a VoIP encryption protocol that aims to bring the same level of PGP’s email security to internet phone calls.
PC World named Zimmermann one of its Top 50 Tech Visionaries and is a continuous advocate for telecommunication privacy and security. To hear his insights on the VoIP Security Roundtable, register for the ClueCon Open Source Telephony Developer Conference running from August 9-11, 2011 in downtown Chicago, IL at the Sofitel Hotel.

A rush order for 1,000 units of Cisco phones was a challenge until VoIP Supply turned to D&H Distributing. Quick turnaround was only the first major hurdle.
The customer’s VoIP system had to hit the ground running with preloaded MAC addresses and serial numbers from all VoIP phones ordered.
D&H delivered on that too treating VoIP Supply as if it were a much larger account.
CRN’s Steven Burke details how the fast growing small medium business (SMB) sector can be attributed to sales growth for for both D&H and VoIP Supply while Garrett Smith, CMO VoIP Supply, specifically notes that the Cisco Unified Communications line has performed at 40% year over year growth:
“We have been surprised by how well Cisco solutions have been embraced in the SMB,” he said. “Cisco has done a good job of taking what worked well in the enterprise and then understanding the SMB market and making it work well in the SMB.”
With D&H’s focus on servicing the SMB VAR, VoIP Supply can meet the challenges of emerging markets and grow new business.

If you’re looking for a simple and cost-effective (read: Free) way to keep an eye on all of your stuff using computers and webcams that are lazily laying around the house doing nothing, then check out the Windows based iSpy security software.
iSpy is a free, open source, camera security software that can be used with your own computers, webcams, microphones and even IP cameras. Besides costing you nothing, iSpy software has the same functionality as high-level IP camera software systems:
There’s an active forum on the site with households, neighborhoods, and businesses finding many uses for iSpy including UFO watching.
There’s a DIY surveillance camera project outlined at Making of the Autonomous Surveillance Camera that aside from acutally working, can email you photos of the room it’s watching when you ask it to.
Here’s how it works:
It uses cellular network for communication. The device checks pre-defined email mailbox once an hour. If a new email is received the camera takes a picture, saves it on a SD-card and emails the image to its owner.
This produces still images on a time delay but, it can provide you a little peace of mind if you need to check on your home. You can build your very own camera with:
