Abstract
A device for operating a service network includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of determining that a communication session is initiated between a first device connected to a first network and a second device connected to a second network, the service network connected between the first and second networks; identifying an attribute of the communication session; determining, based on the identified attribute, whether the communication is authenticated; and when it is determined that the communication is authenticated, sending, to the first or second network, a session notification indicating that the communication session is authenticated with the service network, which allows the first network to route a data stream for the communication session as a trusted data stream.
