Abstract

In an audiovisual communications network, a first endpoint exchanges with a control element messages transmitting parameters registered or to be registered in the control element to enable the first endpoint to communicate with a second endpoint registered with the control element. The communications network is made secure by a method that includes an observation step for detecting whether a set of parameters among the parameters transmitted in a message is inconsistent with a current state of the addressee of said message.
