Abstract
In one embodiment, a method, system and apparatus for recording audio is provided so that the recording can be authenticated. The system may be implemented as a central server that is accessed via one or more lines for audio communication, or as a stand-alone unit. The system operates by encrypting communicated data (e.g., audio signals), storing the encrypted information, and providing at least one user with a key that can be used to decrypt the stored information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by the central server, audio content data from a first party;
- encoding the audio content;
- storing, by the central server, the encoded audio content;
- determining, by the central server, a key for decoding the encoded audio content;
- transmitting the key to the first party;
- generating a first access code that can be used to obtain access to the stored encoded audio content;
- and
- transmitting, by the central server, the first access code to the first party.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a cryptographic processor in communication with the processor;
- and
- a storage device in communication with the processor, the storage device storing instructions configured to direct the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- identifying audio content communicated between at least two parties;
- encoding, via the cryptographic processor, the communicated audio content;
- storing the encoded communicated audio content;
- determining a key for decoding the encoded communicated audio content;
- transmitting the key to a first party of the at least two parties;
- generating a first access code that can be used to obtain access to the stored encoded communicated audio content;
- and
- transmitting the first access code to the first party of the at least two parties.
