A Note on passwords and SIP

When your phone registers to our servers, the password is not sent in clear text.

This is due to Digest Authentication being used between your phone and our servers - this is normal SIP operation.

When your phone uses Digest MD5 authentication, the phone and our server engage in a challenge-response exchange.

Our server sends a challenge (called a nonce), and the phone responds with a hash of its password combined with the challenge that our server sent.

It is this hash, not the plain text password, is sent over the network.
