An Open Source P2P Encrypted VoIP Application
This provides an open-source alternative for organizations and later broader users, but it is incremental as it replicates existing functionality.
The paper tackled the problem of proprietary VoIP software by developing an open-source P2P encrypted VoIP application in Java, comparing its performance features with Skype to show it can be an efficient replacement.
Open source is the future of technology. This community is growing by the day; developing and improving existing frameworks and software for free. Open source replacements are coming up for almost all proprietary software nowadays. This paper proposes an open source application which could replace Skype, a popular VoIP soft phone. The performance features of the developed software is analyzed and compared with Skype so that we can conclude that it can be an efficient replacement. This application is developed in pure Java using various APIs and package and boasts features like voice calling, chatting, file sharing etc. The target audience for this software will initially only be organizations (for internal communication) and later will be released on a larger scale.
