SECURE CALL INDICATOR MECHANISM FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A secure call indicator method, comprising:
- receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (“
SIP”
) message, wherein the SIP message corresponds to a communication session between at least a first communication device associated with a first user and second communication device associated with a second user;
applying a security check to the received SIP message, wherein the security check is configured to inspect at least one of a communication session management trust, a signaling link security protocol, a message destination address, a media, and a media stream destination and a security protocol, associated with the received SIP message;
determining, based on the security check, a security classification associated with the communication session; and
controlling a secure call indicator on at least one of the second communication device associated with the second user and the at least one first communication device associated with the first user, wherein the secure call indicator is configured to indicate the security classification associated with the communication session, wherein the security classification indicates to at least one of the first or second user whether the communication session is secure or unsecure.

Abstract
The concept of a secure call indicator is introduced. In general, the secure call indicator is capable of inspecting the security of signaling associated with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages and comparing the security with media descriptions of the actual media path of the SIP messages. Furthermore, the secure call indicator may be configured to indicate the security associated with a communication session via a physical or virtual notification system.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (“
SIP”
) message, wherein the SIP message corresponds to a communication session between at least a first communication device associated with a first user and second communication device associated with a second user;applying a security check to the received SIP message, wherein the security check is configured to inspect at least one of a communication session management trust, a signaling link security protocol, a message destination address, a media, and a media stream destination and a security protocol, associated with the received SIP message; determining, based on the security check, a security classification associated with the communication session; and controlling a secure call indicator on at least one of the second communication device associated with the second user and the at least one first communication device associated with the first user, wherein the secure call indicator is configured to indicate the security classification associated with the communication session, wherein the security classification indicates to at least one of the first or second user whether the communication session is secure or unsecure. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
a first communication device associated with a first user; a second communication device associated with a second user; and a communication server including a secure call indicator mechanism configured to receive a Session Initiation Protocol (“
SIP”
) message, wherein the SIP message corresponds to a communication session between at least the first communication device and the second communication device;
apply a security check to the received SIP message, wherein the security check is configured to inspect at least one of a communication session management trust, a signaling link security protocol, a message destination address, a media, and a media stream destination and a security protocol, associated with the received SIP message;
determine, based on the security check, a security classification associated with the communication session; and
control a secure call indicator on at least one of the second communication device associated with the second user and the at least one first communication device associated with the first user, wherein the secure call indicator is configured to indicate the security classification associated with the communication session, wherein the security classification indicates to at least one of the first or second user whether the communication session is secure or unsecure. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
