Yes... Authentication challenge can happen for any request except
CANCEL and ACK

Authentication mechanism is the Digest Authentication.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Authenticating an incoming SIP call

Guys,

Is there a way to authenticate a SIP user for incoming call scenario such
as:
       IAM                    Invite
SS7----------->Softswitch------------->WiFi SIP device

The WiFi SIP device of course has already registered with Softswitch. But is
that enough to assume that there is no clone/eavesdropper? I am wondering
why I always see 401/407 challenges always opposite to the direction of
Invite. Is there a way to include Authentication challenge in the Invite
itself?

Please throw some light.

Shikhar
