System and methods for tamper proof interaction recording and timestamping

1. A system for securely recording voice communications,

comprising:

an authentication server computer, comprising a memory, a processor, and program code, wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

generate a timestamp;

publish the timestamp as a zero-value block chain transaction using a distributed block chain network; and

generate a hash for use in encrypting a recording of an interaction; and

a recording server computer comprising another memory, another processor, and another program code, wherein the another program code, when executed by the another processor, causes the another processor to:

receive the interaction via a network, the interaction comprising a plurality of conversations each comprising at least one of the following media types: audio, video, email, and short message service (SMS);

generate the recording of the interaction;

receive the timestamp and hash from the authentication server;

verify the timestamp has not been tampered with by validating the zero-value block chain transaction;

encrypt the recorded interaction with the timestamp embedded therein using the received hash; and

store the encrypted interaction recording in a secure database.

2. A method for securely recording voice communications, the method comprising the steps of:

providing, using an authentication server computer, comprising a memory, a processor, a network interface, and program code, a timestamping authority to generate a timestamp;

publishing, by the authentication server, the timestamp as a zero-value block chain transaction using a distributed block chain network; and

generating a hash for use in encrypting a recording of an interaction;

receiving, at a recording server computer comprising another memory, another processor, and another program code, the interaction via a network, the interaction comprising a plurality of conversations each comprising at least one of the following media types: audio, video, email, and short message service (SMS);

generating, by the recording server, the recording of the interaction;

receiving a timestamp and the hash from the authentication server;

verifying, by the recording server, that the timestamp has not been tampered with by validating the zero-value block chain transaction;

encrypting the recorded interaction with the timestamp embedded therein using the received hash; and

storing the encrypted interaction recording in a secure database.
