Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for determining a status of a call connection is provided. Metadata associated with a party to a call is obtained upon commencement of the call. An identification of the party and whether a security certificate is present is determined from the metadata. A status of unsecure is assigned to a connection of the call when the security certificate is not present. The call connection status is provided to another party to the call via a mobile device and a selection is received from the other party via the mobile device, in response to the call connection status provided.
Claims16
A computer-implemented system for determining a status of a call connection, comprising:
- metadata associated with one party to a call obtained upon commencement of the call with another party, wherein the metadata comprises one or more of an identity of the party, a location of the party, and a signature to associate an encryption key with the party;
- and
- a security server to perform the following:
- initiate verification of the call by receiving a request for verification from one of the parties prior to the call;
- monitor one or more calls to and from that party upon approval of that party's request for verification;
- determine from the metadata an identification of the party and whether a security certificate is present;
- assign a status of unsecure to a connection of the call when the security certificate is not present;
- provide the call connection status to the other party to the call via a mobile device;
- and
- receive a selection via the mobile device from the other party in response to the call connection status provided.
