Although deregistration attack is caused by simple spoofing the REGISTER message of a legitimate SIP UA, its impact is serious. The root cause of this attack is based on the fact that RFC 3261 allows the UA to remove the binding from the Location Server. In this paper, we propose a simple protection method to allow Registrar or Location Server just to ignore deregistration messages. We also show that this method works well by analyzing the process of registration and deregistration. Without any additional overhead such as an encryption or authentication, this method is able to establish a secure SIP environment efficiently protecting against the deregistration attack.
