Abstract
This document discusses how Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IPsec
can be used to secure communication for SIGTRAN protocols. The main
goal is to recommend the minimum security means that a SIGTRAN node
must implement in order to attain secured communication. The support
of IPsec is mandatory for all nodes running SIGTRAN protocols. TLS
support is optional.
