Abstract

A personal communication apparatus is presented for generating a verifiable recording of a transaction, the transaction comprising an exchange of information. The apparatus includes a receiving component, a protection component, a memory and a recording component. The receiving component receives a transaction between a user of the apparatus and a remote person, and of receiving biometric data (BIOKY) of the remote person. The protection component protects the voice conversation with the biometric data (BIOKY). The recording component records the transaction protected with the biometric data on the memory. A communication apparatus is also presented that includes a memory and an authentication component. The authentication component provides access to a protected transaction stored on the memory.
