Security concepts and mechanisms

This collection of topics describes aspects of security to consider in your Blueworx Voice Response Voice over IP installation.

The commonly accepted aspects of security are as follows:

Identification and authentication
Authorization
Confidentiality
Data integrity

Security mechanisms are technical tools and techniques that are used to implement security services. A mechanism might operate by itself, or with others, to provide a particular service. Examples of common security mechanisms are as follows:

Cryptography
Message digests and digital signatures
Digital certificates
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

When you are planning a Blueworx Voice Response Voice over IP installation, consider which security mechanisms you require to implement those aspects of security that are important to you.
