    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for using a registry to assure parties receiving a communication, such as an incoming phone call, that the party sending the communication, such as the caller is, who it appears to be. In some embodiments the registry is a publicly accessible database which stores communication identifiers such as telephone numbers for parties in association with other data including data provided by the parties or others. The other data may include the name of the party associated with the identifier, a cryptographic public key used by the party as part of a public/private key pair, data representing the intent of the party in sending a communication, and parameters set by parties to be satisfied to receive communications or in determining how such communications should be handled. The system may provide the data representing the party's specific intention in that call or other communication to the party receiving the communication.

    摘要: A method and system for identifying an unwanted caller using a call answering system. The method comprises receiving, by a call records server, information about callers from a plurality of telephony devices and one or more phone number data sources, classifying, by the call records server, one or more of the callers as either wanted or unwanted callers based on the received information, and storing, by the call records server, the received information and the classification of the one or more of the callers into a directory. The method further comprises identifying, by a call answering server, that a call from a given caller from a phone number to a receiving telephony device is from an unwanted caller by searching the directory, and handling, by the call answering server, the call from the given caller according to one or more preferences of the user, the one or more preferences including rejecting the call from the receiving telephony device, playing a recorded message, and disposing of the call.

    摘要: A method and system for discovering and locating the source of unwanted communication origination in a communications network, the method comprising compiling a communication campaign database storing data of one or more communication campaigns along with automatically identified instances of those campaigns, and simultaneously or sequentially matching those instances against known communication traffic of a set of cooperating telecommunication carriers. The one or more communications campaigns include a grouping of related fingerprints and patterns that identify a sequence of characters, audio or video associated with instances of a same likely campaigns, either legitimate or illegitimate/fraudulent.
