The visual eky in Windows Zfone is good, but it can be broken too. There is no way to be 100% secure. Nothing is 100% secure. What you need to do is a standard business C/B analysis and based on that determine how much security is good enough.

It's not 100% secure. Like any dual-key encryption, it's subject to the
classic man-in-the-middle attack. This is why the Windows Zfone app has
the addition of a visual key you can read and coordinate with the
recipient to determine if a MITM attack is occurring. But only if you
know what you're doing.

There is no such thing as an unbreakable system. YOU might not be able
to attack it with your limited resources, but someone determined enough
to do so, will find a way.

        Then firewall up the asterisk to disable any outside access and
place the
        vpn server with the asterisk in a locked cabinet .
        
        Sure that will stop someone trying to physically listen to their
call.
        Or they can always use the good old landline or mobile phone and let
the
        government listen to them too/

        I am sure this has been discussed prior, however, I am sitting here
and
        being asked this very question by my superiors.  They are loving
what I have
        done with our two Asterisk servers here; however, they keep asking
me if it
        is secure or not.  Of course, as with anything, I suspect that on a
secure
        network they can be reasonably safe.  However, realistically if I am
using
        the asterisk server to make internal calls and discussion very
private
        matters, how possible is it for someone to listen to calls?  How
good is the
        encryption if any over an IAX trunk?
