Abstract

We describe a system embodiment comprising generating a Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) encapsulated packet and including a secure media indicator into the SRTP encapsulated packet. The method further comprises inserting the SRTP encapsulated packet into an SRTP voice stream associated with an active call between a source and a destination endpoint and indicating an end-to-end secure call between the source and destination endpoints responsive to the secure media indicator.And we describe a method embodiment comprising transmitting a request message from a source endpoint to a destination endpoint participating in an active call and setting a secure media flag in the request message at each node in a signaling path associated with the active call. The method further comprises returning a response message from the destination endpoint to the source endpoint responsive to the request and indicating an end-to-end secure call between the two endpoints.
