Abstract
The present invention concerns a method and a system for establishing a dynamic peer-to-peer communications channel between a first terminal and a second terminal. A first terminal and a second terminal are connectable over secured communications channels to a secured network. The first terminal sends a connection request for establishing a communications channel between the terminals. The connection request is intercepted and analyzed by an analyzer module. The analyzer modules requests network parameters from the first and the second terminals. Based on the intercepted connection request, and the network parameters of the terminals, the analyzer module instructs the terminal to establish a peer-to-peer communications channel over a network distinct from the secured network. Security of the peer-to-peer communications channel may be maintained by means of a central unit of the secured network. In this regard, the central unit may send to the terminal authentication keys and/or encryption keys.
