12 The Crypto Card option
The Crypto Card is, along with the Archive Software, the most important
option of the Call Recorder. Every Call Recorder has been provided with an
IC card reader. If a set of Crypto Cards is purchased, the recorder will
automatically be able to work with them.
12.1 How a Crypto Card works
The Crypto Card works as follows:
•
All recordings that are made while the Crypto Card is inside the computer
are coded. These recordings can only be played if one possesses a card
from the original set.
•
Recordings are uniquely recognizable by the card number.
•
The card has been safeguarded against playing with a pincode or, if this
has been lost, with the PUC (Personal Unlock Code) provided at delivery.
As we have already seen, it is possible to configure the recorder in such a
way that recording can only take place with the card.
The function of the card is as follows:
•
Users who keep their cards with them can be sure that their recordings
cannot be listened to without their approval.
•
It is safe to transport recordings via the network or Internet, because they
cannot be listened to without a card from the original set.
•
If the monitor function is used, the card also protects this function against
unauthorized listening in as well, so that it is safe to listen to a
conversation via Internet.
•
It is possible to let more than one person use the same recorder without
any of them being able to listen to the recordings of the others. If
necessary, the central archive can clearly indicate which recordings were
made by whom.
