There is a well documented GPL'd implementation of SRTP available from
http://srtp.sourceforge.net/srtp.html . Integration with Asterisk
shouldn't be hard; as usual, the hardest issue is key management.
Solutions based on a shared secret may work between mutually-authenticated
nodes; in other cases, a relatively simple way out is to use SIPS (SIP
over TLS) to pass a randomly-generated session key in cleartext, but
protected by the TLS layer. Unfortunately, I believe that, at this stage,
Asterisk doesn't support SIPS (and not even SIP over TCP).
