Insecure (does not apply to asterisk 1.0.9 and earlier)

port: ignore the port number where request came from
invite: don't require initial INVITE to authenticate
port,invite: don't require initial INVITE to authenticate and ignore the port where the request came from

Example

insecure=port ; Allow matching of peer by IP address without matching port number
insecure=invite ; Do not require authentication of incoming INVITEs
insecure=port,invite ; (both)

Typically used to allow incoming calls (e.g. from FWD) while having a type=friend entry defined with username and password.
