GSMA IR.94 IMS Profile for Video Telephony

IR.94 in context

Telecom security is written into standards from 3GPP, GSMA, ETSI, IETF and ITU-T. Understanding which body owns which specification, and how the specs interlock (for example 3GPP TS 33.501 with GSMA FS.34 for 5G SBA security), is essential for both design and audit work.

Cryptography in telecom spans air-interface ciphers (A5/1, A5/3, ZUC, SNOW, NEA/NIA), transport (IPsec, TLS), and identity (AKA, 5G-AKA, EAP-AKA'). Weak or downgradeable ciphers remain a live risk on 2G/3G fallback, and post-quantum migration is now on the roadmap for interconnect and roaming keys.

To place IR.94 in the wider telecom-security picture, review SRTP, QCI, IR.92, Zigbee, MTSI and PRD.
