According to a statement released by the IMS Forum, Plugfest III achieved the first-ever multi-vendor interoperability enabling secure mobile access to IMS services. Participating companies also demonstrated the interoperability between the Proxy-CSCF and IMS clients using IMS Authentication and Key Agreement (IMSAKA) and IP Security protocol (IPsec).
