System and method for processing telephony sessions
In one embodiment, the method of processing telephony sessions includes: communicating with an application server using an application layer protocol; processing telephony instructions with a call router; and creating call router resources accessible through a call router Application Programming Interface (API). In another embodiment, the system for processing telephony sessions includes: a call router, a URI for an application server, a telephony instruction executed by the call router, and a call router API resource.
1. A method comprising:
determining a cryptographic key associated with an account;
generating a request to an application identified by a uniform resource locator (URL) and associated with the account, the request comprising request parameters associated with a telephony communication;
generating a digital signature based on one or more of the request parameters and the cryptographic key;
sending, using the URL, the request comprising the digital signature to the application;
receiving a response comprising at least one telephony instruction associated with the telephony communication based on the digital signature of the request; and
executing, based on the at least one telephony instruction, a telephony action for the telephony communication.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a header of the request comprises the digital signature.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital signature comprises a cryptographic hash.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the digital signature is further based on the URL.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the URL is a first URL; and
the sending of the request using the first URL comprises sending the request to a second URL based on the first URL and the digital signature.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
encrypting the one or more of the request parameters using the cryptographic key to generate encrypted request parameters; and
generating a cryptographic hash of the encrypted request parameters.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the telephony communication comprises a Short Message Service (SMS) message.
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining a cryptographic key associated with an account;
generating a request to an application identified by a uniform resource locator (URL) and associated with the account, the request comprising request parameters associated with a telephony communication;
generating a digital signature based on one or more of the request parameters and the cryptographic key;
sending, using the URL, the request comprising the digital signature to the application;
receiving a response comprising at least one telephony instruction associated with the telephony communication based on the digital signature of the request; and
executing, based on the at least one telephony instruction, a telephony action for the telephony communication.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein a header of the request comprises the digital signature.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the digital signature comprises a cryptographic hash.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the generating of the digital signature is further based on the URL.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein:
the URL is a first URL; and
the sending of the request using the first URL comprises sending the request to a second URL based on the first URL and the digital signature.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
encrypting the one or more of the request parameters using the cryptographic key to generate encrypted request parameters; and
generating a cryptographic hash of the encrypted request parameters.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the telephony communication comprises a Short Message Service (SMS) message.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining a cryptographic key associated with an account;
generating a request to an application identified by a uniform resource locator (URL) and associated with the account, the request comprising request parameters associated with a telephony communication;
generating a digital signature based on one or more of the request parameters and the cryptographic key;
sending, using the URL, the request comprising the digital signature to the application;
receiving a response comprising at least one telephony instruction associated with the telephony communication based on the digital signature of the request; and
executing, based on the at least one telephony instruction, a telephony action for the telephony communication.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a header of the request comprises the digital signature.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the digital signature comprises a cryptographic hash.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the generating of the digital signature is further based on the URL.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:
the URL is a first URL; and
the sending of the request using the first URL comprises sending the request to a second URL based on the first URL and the digital signature.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
encrypting the one or more of the request parameters using the cryptographic key to generate encrypted request parameters; and
generating a cryptographic hash of the encrypted request parameters.
