Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for validating call connections is provided. Metadata about a connecting party is collected during a call, wherein the call is received by or initiated by a user. A connection status for the call is verified. The connecting party metadata is compared with connecting party records stored in a database and an attempt to determine an identity of the connecting party is made based on the comparison. A determination as to whether a security certificate is present with the metadata is made. The connection status is determined based on the connecting party identity attempt and the identification of whether the security certificate is present. The determined connection status is provided to the user.
Claims15
A computer-implemented system for validating call connections, comprising:
- metadata about a connecting party that is collected during a call, wherein the call is at least one of received by or initiated by a user;
- a security server to verify a connection status for the call by comparing the connecting party metadata with connecting party records stored in a database in an attempt to determine an identity of the connecting party based on the comparison, by identifying whether a security certificate is present with the metadata, and by determining the connection status based on an identity of the connecting party and whether the security certificate is present;
- and
- a notification to provide the connection status to the user via display of an icon on a mobile computing device, wherein the connection status and call are added to a call log for display with a further connection status.
