Could you please explain what kind of security does assigning random
(dynamic) port to SIP UAS give?

Well, in my opinion we should try to make Qutecom as close to the
standards defined in RFC 3261 (and others) as possible. And IANA
assigned port for SIP is 5060 (5061 TLS)
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers).
