Understanding Security Profiles

All Cisco Unified IP Phones that support Cisco Unified Communications Manager use a security profile,
which defines whether the phone is nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted. For information about
configuring the security profile and applying the profile to the phone, refer to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Security Guide.
To view the security mode that is set for the phone, you can view the security profile in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.

Identifying Authenticated, Encrypted, and Protected Phone Calls

In an authenticated call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are trusted devices, and
authenticated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
In an encrypted call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are trusted devices, and
authenticated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In addition, call signaling and media streams
are encrypted. An encrypted call offers a high level of security, providing integrity and privacy to the
call.
If the call is routed through non-IP call legs, for example, PSTN, the call may be nonsecure even though
it is encrypted within the IP network.
In a protected call, a security tone plays at the beginning of a call to indicate that the other connected
phone is also receiving and transmitting encrypted audio and video (if video is involved). If your call is
connected to a non-protected phone, the security tone does not play.
Note Protected calling is supported for connections between two phones only. Some features, such as
conference calling and shared lines are not available when protected calling is configured. Protected
calls are not authenticated.
