Abstract

Methods for secure transmission of data during a communication session are provided herein. In some embodiments, the method includes establishing a secure voice communication session between a first electronic device and second electronic device in a communications network, and sending secure data over the established voice communication session using information associated with the established voice communication session.

Claims (31)

1. A method for secure transmission of data during a communication session comprising:

establishing a secure voice communication session between a first electronic device and second electronic device in a communications network, wherein the communication session uses one of Secure Session Initiation Protocol (SIPS) or secure real-time transfer protocol (SRTP); and

sending secure data over the established voice communication session using information associated with the established voice communication session, wherein when the secure voice communication session is terminated, the secure data transmitted between the first and second electronic devices is automatically deleted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a pair of security keys to authenticate at least one of the first and second electronic devices prior to sending secure data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing a secure voice communication session includes encryption and decryption of voice communications by at least one of the first and second electronic devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending secure data occurs within the same channel as the secure voice communication session.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving secure data over the established voice communication session using information associated with the established voice communication session.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secure data transmitted includes an expiration period that set a time period after which the secure data will be automatically deleted.

7. A method for secure transmission of media during a communication session comprising:

establishing a secure voice communication session between a first electronic device and second electronic device in a secure voice channel of a first communications network, wherein the communication session uses one of Secure Session Initiation Protocol (SIPS) or secure real-time transfer protocol (SRTP);

establishing a secure data communication channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device using information associated with the established voice communication session;

sending secure data over the established secure data communication channel;

requesting recording of the secure voice communication session; and

generating a temporary recording of the secure voice communication session.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the secure data communication channel is of a second communications network different from the first communications network.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving secure data over the established secure data communication channel.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information includes a pair of security keys to authenticate the first and second electronic devices prior to sending secure data.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein when the secure voice communication session is terminated, the secure data transmitted between the first and second electronic devices is automatically deleted.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein accessing the secure data on at least one of the first and the second devices during the secure voice communication session triggers a beginning of an expiration period.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the temporary recording is automatically deleted after expiration of a pre-determined time period.

14. A method for automatically deleting data transmitted between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the method comprising:

establishing a voice communication session between a first electronic device and second electronic device, wherein the communication session uses one of Secure Session Initiation Protocol (SIPS) or secure real-time transfer protocol (SRTP);

establishing a data communication channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device using information associated with the established voice communication session;

transmitting data over the established data communication channel, wherein the data includes a time period for expiration to automatically delete the transmitted data after termination of the voice communication session; and

deleting the transmitted data after expiration of the time period.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the time period is set by a user of a device transmitting the data.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the time period is a default value to immediately delete the transmitted data on at least one of the first or second electronic devices at the end of the voice communications session.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the time period for expiration begins when the data is accessed.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the voice communication session and the data communication channel are established as secure communications.
