Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for processing confidential information. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving confidential information on an incoming line coupled to the call center server; intercepting a DTMF tone portion of the confidential information at an encoder located between the incoming line and an agent at the remote client; and processing the DTMF tone at approximately the same time for two separate data paths, wherein a first path contains encoded confidential information for a call server, and a second path contains no confidential information for the agent.
