The vast majority of the Asterisk project documentation has been moved to the project wiki: https://wiki.asterisk.org/ Asterisk release tarballs contain an export of the wiki in PDF and plain text form, which you can find in: doc/AST.pdf doc/AST.txt Asterisk uses the Doxygen documentation software. Run "make progdocs" and open the resulting documentation index at doc/api/index.html in a webbrowser or copy the directory to a directory served by a webserver for remote access.

Historically, the dial syntax for IAX2 has held that an outkey (used only for RSA authenticated calls) and a secret (used only for plain text and MD5 authenticated calls, historically) were mutually exclusive, and thus the same position in the dial string was used for both values. Now that encryption is possible with RSA authentication, this poses a limitation, since encryption requires a secret and RSA authentication requires an outkey. Thus, the dial syntax is extended so that both a secret and an outkey can be specified. The new extended syntax is backwards compatible with the old syntax. However, a secret can now be specified after the outkey, or the outkey can be specified after the secret. This makes it possible to spawn an encrypted RSA authenticated call without a corresponding peer being predefined in iax.conf.
