== 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. |
