Maybe we're are mixing things up - I don't quite see the security risk in receiving a VoIP call from someone@some.where on the internet? The caller will not be registering on my Asterisk server, it's only an inbound call that is routed to whoever the caller wants. In my case, my phone on my desk (a Linksys SPA) is registered with the Asterisk server as extension #123, and calls to sip://per@jessen.ch are routed to that. That's all.
I don't have field experience with asterisk, only some training. Reading the documentation I understood it was a risk, but I don't recall exactly why. On a bussiness you might get a call from a longtime and good client, dispatch a cargo to be charged 30 days later, and then learn it was a fired employee or someone from a rival company, faking the ID on the phone. Yes, it is social engineering, but trusting the number you see in your terminal is part of the issue. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
