Abstract
A method is provided to control communication between applications that communicate over a network comprising: designating a different respective application identifier (AppID) for each of a multiplicity of A2A enabled applications suitable to run on endpoint devices coupled to a network suitable for delivery of multimedia information; providing in non-transitory media a registry that indicates authorized AppIDs; receiving over the network a request originating from a first endpoint device for authorization for a media connection; wherein the authorization request includes an AppID; in response to the authorization request, determining whether the AppID within the authorization request matches an authorized AppID indicated within the registry; rejecting the authorization request in response to a determination that the AppID does not match an authorized AppID indicated within the registry.
