Methods for securing image, video and/or audio media data captured by a media recording device are disclosed. Various embodiments may include determining whether media data captured by the media recording device should be secured in response to the media recording device activating a media recording application, obtaining an encryption key in response to determining that media data captured by the media recording device should be secured, encrypting media data (e.g., image, video and/or audio data) captured by the media recording device using the obtained encryption key, and storing the encrypted media data. In some embodiments, determining that media data should be secured and obtaining the encryption key may be based on user inputs in response to prompts. In some embodiments, determining that media data should be secured may be based on whether the media recording device satisfies a geo-location criterion and the encryption key may be provided by a server.

Securing recorded media data from unauthorized access

A method and system for played a mixed audio in a communications device during an active communication session is disclosed. One configuration allows for ringtone audio to be heard simultaneously with voice audio received during an on-going phone call. In one configuration, the device comprises a transceiver a transceiver configured to receiver a first audio signal, an event handler configured to receive a notification, a storage configured to store at least one audio file, a processor configured to initiate a conversion of an audio file stored in the storage into a second audio signal, based on the received notification, a mixer configured to mix the first audio signal and the second audio signal to create a mixed audio signal, and an output device to output the mixed audio signal.
