Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for establishing dynamic peer-to-peer communications channels between terminals. A connection request for establishing a communications channel between a first terminal and second terminal may be intercepted. The first terminal and the second terminal may be connectable over secured communications channels to a secured network. Based on the intercepted connection request and/or network parameters obtained from the first and the second terminals, the terminals may be instructed 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, such as by use of authentication and/or encryption in one or both of the first terminal and the second terminal.
