The Cisco Phone Proxy on the ASA bridges IP telephony between the corporate IP telephony network

encrypted.

Telecommuters can connect their IP phones to the corporate IP telephony network over the Internet
securely via the phone proxy without the need to connect over a VPN tunnel as illustrated by Figure 1-1.
