1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a central server, communication between at least two parties;
determining, by the central server, audio content communicated between the at least two parties;
encoding the communicated audio content;
storing, by the central server, the encoded communicated audio content;
determining, by the central server, a key for decoding the encoded communicated audio content;
transmitting the key to a first party of the at least two parties;
generating a first access code that can be used to obtain access to the stored encoded communicated audio content; and
transmitting, by the central server, the first access code to the first party of the at least two parties.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method, system and apparatus for recording audio is provided so that the recording can be authenticated. The system may be implemented as a central server that is accessed via one or more lines for audio communication, or as a stand-alone unit. The system operates by encrypting communicated data (e.g., audio signals), storing the encrypted information, and providing at least one user with a key that can be used to decrypt the stored information.
