Techniques for ensuring that geographic location specific security policies are enforce for an agent or agent device. An Agent service of an agent device accesses an Agent Authentication Service for a key to initiate one or more functions of the agent device. The Agent Authentication Service determines the location of the agent device and determines whether the agent device is within an approved geographic location based on geographic location specific security policies. If the agent device is within the approved geographic location, the Agent Authentication Services accesses a Key Management Service for a cryptographic key and delivers the cryptographic key to the Agent. If the Agent Authentication Service determines that the Agent device is outside of the approved location, access to the cryptographic key is denied.

A configuration tracking system for a call detail record (CDR) filtering system keeps track of the contexts under which CDRs are collected and filtered. The configuration tracking system is useful in a multiple concurrent filtering paradigm, in which several CDR filters may be active at any given time and the filter criteria are dynamically altered. Filter criteria for multiple filters are recorded in a dynamically changing table. The configuration tracking system maintains a historical record of the filter criteria in the dynamically changing table. The configuration tracking system updates its historical record by detecting changes in the dynamically changing filter table, comparing earlier and later versions of the table, and opening and/or closing timestamped filter records in response.
