Systems and methods for a secure recording environment
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing secure, captured data in a customer center. In one embodiment, the method comprises: capturing data with a recording system; receiving a request to retrieve electronic keys for encrypting the data; responsive to receiving the request, transmitting the electronic keys to the recording system; encrypting the data using the electronic keys; associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data; and storing the encrypted data in the recording system.
1. A method for providing secure, captured data in a customer center, comprising the steps of:
capturing unencrypted data with a recording system at a customer center through a VoIP network, wherein the unencrypted data comprises a communication between a user and an agent of the customer center;
generating, at a key management system, electronic keys for encrypting the unencrypted data;
transmitting the electronic keys and key identifications to the recording system in response to a request;
encrypting the unencrypted data at the recording system using the electronic keys to generate encrypted data;
associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data to store the encrypted data at the recording system;
associating metadata of the stored encrypted data with the key identifications at the recording system;
transmitting a code associated with the stored encrypted data to the key management system, the code being unique to a context of the captured unencrypted data; and
maintaining a database of metadata and key identifications to facilitate retrieval of the electronic keys for decrypting the stored encrypted data.
2. The method as defined in claim 1 , wherein associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data comprises associating the key identifications with the stored encrypted data.
3. The method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the key identifications are hash values on the electronic keys.
4. The method as defined in claim 1 , wherein associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data comprises associating the electronic keys with the code.
5. The method as defined in claim 4 , further comprising maintaining a database of electronic keys and unique identifiers to facilitate retrieval of the electronic keys for decrypting the stored encrypted data.
6. The method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the code is a hash value based on the electronic keys.
7. A method for providing secure, capture of multimedia communications data in a customer center, comprising the steps of:
capturing, at a recording system, the multimedia communications data in accordance with predetermined business rules, the multimedia communications data being communicated between a user and an agent of the customer center;
generating, at a key management system, electronic keys for encrypting the multimedia communications data;
transmitting the electronic keys and key identifications to the recording system in response to a request;
encrypting the multimedia communications data at the recording system using the electronic keys to generate and store encrypted data;
assigning a unique identifier to the multimedia communications data in accordance with a context of the multimedia communications data;
associating metadata of the stored encrypted data with the key identifications at the recording system; and
maintaining a database of metadata and key identifications to facilitate retrieval of the electronic keys for decrypting the stored encrypted data.
8. The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data comprises associating the key identifications with the stored encrypted data.
9. The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the key identifications are hash values on the electronic keys.
10. The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein associating the electronic keys with the encrypted data comprises associating the electronic keys with the unique identifiers.
11. The method as defined in claim 10 , further comprising maintaining a database of electronic keys and unique identifiers to facilitate retrieval of the electronic keys for decrypting the stored encrypted data.
12. The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the unique identifiers are hash values on the electronic keys.
