Making and Receiving Secure Calls

Advanced Call Handling

Depending on how your system administrator has configured your phone system, your phone might support making and receiving secure calls.

Your phone is capable of supporting these types of calls:

•Authenticated call—The identities of all phones participating in the call have been verified.

•Encrypted call—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation) within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.

•Non-securecall—At least one of the participating phones or the connection does not support these security features, or the phones cannot be verified.

Tracing Suspicious Calls

If you are receiving suspicious or malicious calls, your system administrator can add the Malicious Call Identification (MCID) feature to your phone. This feature enables you to identify an active call as suspicious, which initiates a series of automated tracking and notification messages.
