[VOIPSEC] SIP B2BUA and Digest Authentication using

I think we can work fairly easily to accommodate this scenario as well.
Instead of passing the cleartext information (including Digest string and
without the password, of course) from proxy to Radius Server and getting an
OK that the digest string matches, we can pass the cleartext information
including nonce to the Radius Server and retrieve the digest string to send
back to the User Agent. 

Make sense?

TCP would help.  TLS-over-TCP would help even more.

In the absence of that, you could rotate the line-id every few hours (and
re-register), only accept Invites from the same IP address as your SIP proxy
(akin to what a symmetric NAT imposes on its outbound connections), and make
sure the network follows RFC2827 practices (Network Ingress Filtering).
