A method for retrieving data in a data source is provided. The method includes receiving a search term; identifying an active tag associated with the search term; correlating the active tag to dynamic data that is operative to adapt to a mining context in which data is stored; and retrieving the data using the dynamic data.

An authentication agent may cryptographically identify a remote endpoint that sent a media initialization message even though intermediate devices may modify certain fields in the message after a signature is inserted. The originating endpoint's agent may create the signature over some fields of the message using an enterprise network's private key. The agent may insert the signature into the message and send the message to a recipient endpoint's authentication agent. The recipient agent may verify the signature, receive a certificate including a second public key, and challenge the identity of the originating endpoint in order to confirm that identity. This challenge may request a confirmation that the originating endpoint knows the private key corresponding to the second public key and may occur while running encrypted media at the endpoints. After the originating endpoint is authenticated, the endpoints may exchange encrypted and/or unencrypted media.

A system may provide trust relationship information for a telephone number, where the trust relationship information may indicate whether one or more nodes consider a target node as including or as being associated with a VoIP call agent for the telephone number based on demonstrated knowledge of a PSTN call. The system may determine a target trust relationship to the target node based on the trust relationship information, where the target trust relationship indicates a level of trust a validating node has in the target node being associated with or including the VoIP call agent for the telephone number, and where validating node and the one or more nodes may be in different respective administrative domains of a network.

A method for establishing a communication session between two endpoints that do not both support secure media includes receiving a registration from a first endpoint. The registration indicating the first endpoint supports secure media and non-secure media. The method also includes receiving a registration from a second endpoint. The registration indicating the second endpoint supports non-secure media. The method also includes receiving a request to establish a communication session between the first endpoint and the second endpoint using secure media. The method further includes establishing the communication session between the first endpoint and the second endpoint via the communications platform using non-secure media.

In one embodiment, a system is provided to prevent VoIP spam. The system may store call data that is associated with a call to a phone number made over a Public Switched Telephone Network. Subsequently, the system may accept an Internet Protocol telephony connection in response to verification of a demonstrated knowledge of the call. The demonstrated knowledge of the call may be verified based on the call data.

A system and a method are disclosed for authenticating a subsequent callback from a public safety answering point (PSAP) in response to a user agent's initial emergency call. In one embodiment, the user agent forwards a token to the PSAP during the initial call, and the PSAP returns the token during callback. The PSAP is authenticated when the forwarded and returned tokens match. In another embodiment, the user agent encrypts a token using a Public Key Infrastructure and forwards the encrypted token to the PSAP. The PSAP decrypts the token and, upon callback, includes a signed digital certificate based on the token. The user agent authenticates the PSAP when the decrypted digital certificate matches the originally sent token. In yet another embodiment, the user agent forwards a first token to the PSAP. Upon callback, the user agent forwards a second token to the PSAP. The PSAP performs a function on the pair of received tokens and forward the result to the user agent. The user agent performs the same function on the same tokens to obtain a local result. The user agent authenticates the PSAP when the local and forwarded results match.

A system for verifying caller ID information in received VoIP calls. In particular implementations, a method includes receiving a caller identification (ID) identifying a calling party telephone number in a call initiation message transmitted from a VoIP call agent; determining the identity of the VoIP call agent; verifying that a public switched telephone network (PSTN) call to the calling party telephone number would arrive at a VoIP call agent having the determined identity; and applying, responsive to the call initiation message, one or more rules based at least in part on the verifying step.

A method for granting access to secure information includes receiving from a caller a call for connection with one of a plurality of agents, distributing the call to the agent of the plurality of agents, initiating an active communication session between the caller and the agent for handling the call, and granting to the agent access to the secure caller information using a plurality of access authentication information that includes an active communication session between the caller and the agent.

Disclosed are apparatus and techniques for escalating an instant messaging (IM) session between two or more users to an audio session so that a communication device (by one or more users) that will optimize the audio session is selectively and intelligently utilized. In one embodiment, if an IP (Internet Protocol) phone is connected to the computer on which an IM session is being escalated, the IP telephone may be used instead of the computer device's own soft telephone so as to maximize audio clarity and quality. In another embodiment, a user's cell phone may be utilized for a mobile user who is using a laptop that is not coupled to an IP telephone or who is communicating from a hotel room in which a telephone call is typically more expensive than a cell phone call. Numerous embodiments for optimizing such audio sessions are described herein.
