CERTIFICATION FOR CONNECTION OF VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION ENDPOINTS

Abstract:

Provided is a method for certifying a communicative connection. The method includes, in response to receiving a first request from a first virtualized communication endpoint (VCE), allocating and assigning a first communication portal to the first VCE, generating an encryption key associated with the first communication portal, and returning the encryption key and an identification of the first communication portal to the first VCE. The method further includes, in response to receiving a second request from a second VCE to establish a communicative connection with the first communication portal, the second request being accompanied by an encrypted certificate, comparing, using the encryption key, the information included in the certificate with certificate input information. The method further includes, in response to determining that the information included in the certificate matches the certificate input information, establishing the communicative connection between the first VCE and the second VCE.
