CHALLENGING A FIRST TERMINAL INTENDING TO COMMUNICATE WITH A SECOND TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method for providing a challenge to a first terminal intending to communicate with a second terminal via at least one communication network, the method being performed in a party challenging device and comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first electronic message concerning a transfer of media from the first terminal to the second terminal, said first electronic message being sent from the first terminal associated with a first party and being addressed to the second terminal,obtaining communication contextual data associated with the first party or the first terminal,providing an electronic challenge message based on the obtained communication contextual data, said electronic challenge message comprising a challenge to the first party, andsending said electronic challenge message to the first terminal, in order to enable a decision to be made on how to process said first electronic message for the second terminal based on the correctness of an electronic response message received from the first terminal, which electronic response message includes a response to the challenge provided in the electronic challenge message.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method, party challenging device (18) and computer program products for providing a challenge to a first terminal (10) intending to communicate with a second terminal (24) via two networks (N1, N2). The party challenging device receives a first electronic message (1M) concerning a transfer of media from the first terminal to the second terminal sent from the first terminal (10) and addressed to the second terminal (24), obtains communication contextual data associated with the first party or the first terminal, provides an electronic challenge message (CHM) including a challenge (CHl1) based on the obtained data and sends the challenge message to the first terminal in order to enable a decision to be made how to process the invitation message for the second terminal based on the correctness of a response (RM) including a response to the challenge.
