Mitigation of WebRTC attacks using a network edge system

A request to establish an encrypted media stream is received, by an edge server, for a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) communication session between a first browser, and a second browser or gateway. The edge server is a boundary device between a first network and a second network. The edge server retrieves a tenant identifier for the encrypted media stream. The tenant identifier can identify a specific company or enterprise. In response to receiving the tenant identifier for the encrypted media stream for the WebRTC communication session, a list of one or more Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters associated with the tenant is retrieved. For example, the list of QoS parameters may be based on a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The edge server dynamically sends a message to configure the second network to support the list of one or more QoS parameters associated with the tenant.

Selective traffic analysis at a communication network edge

An electronic communication is received from a first communication device by a multi-tasking operating system. For example, a customer has entered a service request at a web site, which is received by the multi-tasking operating system. The electronic communication comprises a plurality of items of information associated with a service request. An accuracy level for the plurality of items of information is determined. The accuracy level for the plurality of items is based on a history of prior electronic communications. In response to determining the accuracy level for the plurality of items of information associated with the service request, a communication system associated with a contact center and/or a contact center agent is identified. In response to identifying the communication system associated with the contact center and/or contact center agent, the electronic communication is routed to the communication system associated with the contact center and/or contact center agent.

Electronic communication routing based data accuracy

To determine the correct media stream to latch onto, the system and method uses a hashing algorithm to uniquely identify a legitimate media stream. A first invite message is received at a Session Border Controller (SBC) to establish a communication session. For example a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE is received. The first invite message comprises a first hash of a fingerprint. For example, the hash may be a hashed session key. A media message is received that contains the fingerprint to establish a media stream for the communication session. A second hash is created using the fingerprint in the media message. The first hash is compared to the second hash. In response to the first hash matching the second hash, a Network Address Translator (NAT) latches to an address and/or a port in the media message. Thus, the correct media stream is associated with the communication session.

The system and method monitor a secure Web Real Time Communication (WebRTC) session between browsers. To do so, a WebRTC application receives a first WebRTC offer with a fingerprint of a first browser to establish a secure communication session. The WebRTC application sends session information and the fingerprint of the first browser to a media relay. The WebRTC application receives a fingerprint of a media relay. A second WebRTC offer with a fingerprint of the media relay is sent to a second browser. An answer to the second WebRTC offer is received. Session information and the fingerprint of the second browser are sent to the media relay so the media relay can decrypt the secure communication session. The first WebRTC offer is answered. A secure communication session is established via the media relay using the fingerprints. The media relay, based on the fingerprints, can monitor the secure communication session.
