METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAINTAINING AND VERIFYING A TRANSACTION RECORD

摘要

An approach is provided for maintaining and verifying a transaction record. The transaction manager (107) determines to make a recording of all or a portion of the communication session for conducting a transaction among at least two devices (101 ). Then, the transaction manager determines to split the recording into at least two parts, wherein at least one of the two parts is a receipt of the transaction. The parts of the recording may be distributed to other devices (101 ) involved in the communication session and/or to a third party validator (1 15). The verification of the transaction is based on the continuity of the parts when they are joined back together.
