Skype recently published this report on their Security and cryptography:
http://www.skype.com/security/files/2005-031%20security%20evaluation.pdf
Perhaps unsurprisingly for an internally commissioned report (albeit from an outside consultant) the conclusion was positive:
"The designers of Skype did not hesitate to employ cryptography widely
and well in order to establish a foundation of trust, authenticity, and
confidentiality for their peer-to-peer services. The implementers of
Skype implemented the cryptographic functions correctly and
efficiently. As a result, the confidentiality of a Skype session is far
greater than that offered by a wired or wireless telephone call or by
email and email attachments.
"Beyond errors in the cryptosystem, I have also looked for back
doors, Trojans, overreaching “debugging” facilities, etc. I did not
find any hints of malware in the portions of the Skype code I reviewed."
Taken from the above report by
Tom Berson of Anagram Laboratories.

The newly formed Voice over IP Security Alliance ( VOIPSA),
has put together what's billed as the first comprehensive description
of security and threats to Voice over IP (VoIP) systems. Known as the
VoIP Security Threat Taxonomy, the framework is designed to provide the
industry with a clearer view of VoIP
security risks put into context with a discussion of technical
trade-offs. |

I have set this site up to document developments on
Phil Zimmermann's project to develop an encryption app for VOIP. I will
also be posting any related news I find interesting and relevant to
privacy and Voice Over IP.
