Making and Receiving Secure Calls
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 callThe identities of all phones participating in the call have been verified.
Encrypted callThe phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation)
within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.
Non-secure callAt least one of the participating phones or the connection does not support these
security features, or the phones cannot be verified.
Note There are interactions, restrictions, and limitations that affect how security features work on
your phone. For more information, ask your system administrator.
