In this paradigm, P2P network stores most of the network information among participating peers without help of the central servers. The concept of self-configuration, self-establishment greatly improves the robustness of the network system compared with the traditional Client/Server based systems. In this paper, we propose a system architecture for constructing efficient and secure P2PSIP communication systems. The proposed approach includes three-layer hierarchical overlay division, peer identifier assignment, cache based efficiency enhancement, proxy based security, and subjective logic based trust enhancement. A prototype with 512 P2PSIP peers is implemented. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{Peer-to-Peer (P2P); Session Initiation Protocol (SIP); P2PSIP; chord; Chord Secure Proxy (CSP); Chord Secure Proxy Gateway (CSPG); subjective logic} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-12368-9\_20} \end
