METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTHENTICATING COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Provided are methods and systems for authenticating communications. System (100) without a diverter is used for transferring communications. In some cases Intermediary (180) may first request a particular communication from source (110) following a request from destination (130) to intermediary (180). An intermediary authenticates one or more communications by transferring communications and by storing information about the communications. The stored information at least includes times associated with the communications and at least part of the contents of the communications. The stored information may in some cases be later retrieved in order to provide authentication of the communications, for example in the case of a dispute involving one or more parties to the communications.
