First Claim
1. A method of hosting an interactive voice response service for a subscriber, comprising:
- processing a call made to a call number of the subscriber using the interactive voice response service for the subscriber;
providing as part of the interactive voice response service a media archiving service for archiving one or more media stream of the call;
the media archiving service further comprising;
designating at least one event in the interactive voice response service to trigger the media archiving service;
in the event the media archiving service is triggered, obtaining a public key of a public key encryption of the subscriber;
encrypting the one or more media stream of the call using the public encryption key of the subscriber so that at any time no tangible portion of each of the one or more media stream is stored unencrypted, thereby keeping the media of the call private even from a provider of the hosting service; and

Abstract
A third-party interactive voice response service includes a media archiving service in which media streams from a call to a subscriber is encrypted by a public key of the subscriber. The media streams may optionally be compressed and are encrypted in real-time so that at any time no tangible portion of the media streams can be accessed by the third party provider. The multiple media streams can optionally be compressed and/or encrypted individually or after they have been combined into a combined stream. The subscriber is able to retrieve the encrypted media streams and decrypt them using the subscriber'"'"'s private key. The encryption and compression are under program control of the interactive voice response service.
