Some phones like the ATCOM 530 now support ipsec to establish a VPN. Elastix comes now with the ipsec-tools package to make it possible to create a tunnel between the Elastix PBX and some phones.

Note that at this moment we are not mentioning support for the SRTP protocol or “Secure RTP”.
If you are interested in SRTP please take a look at this thread http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5413
