Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for implementing real-time transport control protocol to obtain an end-to-end encryption and security status of a communication session. The system collects real-time transport control protocol messages associated with a communication session, wherein the real-time transport control protocol messages are generated by devices in the communication session, and wherein the real-time transport control protocol messages include security information associated with the communication session. Then, based on the real-time transport control protocol messages, the system determines a security status associated with the communication session. The system can also generate an indication of the security status associated with the communication session. Further, the system can generate an indication of the security status of a communication session on a per participant basis.
