TLS and SRTP encryption is supported between Session Manager and Scopia® solution products, providing higher security within mixed Scopia® solution and Avaya Aura® environments. This support is available with the upcoming Scopia 8.3 service pack.

The MCU, a device used to bridge videoconferencing connections, can encrypt communications with endpoints to create secure connections with H.235-based encryption for H.323 endpoints and SRTP and TLS encryption for SIP endpoints.

Communication Manager supports SRTP for video call flows only when the call originating and the receiving endpoints are SIP-registered and the IP-codec-set administration on Communication Manager is SRTP. H.323-registered endpoints always send video RTP. SIP-H.323 interworking with video encryption is not supported and video is blocked in this case. However, if the Best effort SRTP mode is selected,Communication Manager allows video RTP to pass through.
