1. A computerized method for authenticating an end point device participating in a media-based conference call, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at a call processing module of a server computing device, a request to establish a conference call between a plurality of end point devices, the request including credentials and attributes associated with a user of a first end point device and attributes associated with the end point device;

    determining, at the call processing module, an identity of the user of the first end point device based upon the credentials and the attributes associated with the user;

    determining, at the call processing module, a level of conference call access based upon the attributes associated with the first end point device;

    retrieving, by the call processing module, a user profile based upon the identity of the user, the user profile including a set of permissions associated with authorization to participate in the conference call;

    generating, by the call processing module, a fingerprint associated with the request, the fingerprint comprising;

    a matrix of attributes derived from the user profile, the attributes associated with the end point device, and the requested conference call; and

    determining, by the call processing module, whether to connect the first end point device to a conference call based upon evaluation of the fingerprint and the level of conference call access.
