Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-readable medium containing program instructions for configuring a first computer so that a first telephony client on the first computer may securely communicate with a second telephony client on a second computer via a communication path. The computer-readable medium includes computer code for inserting a security algorithm within the communication path. The security algorithm facilitates secure communication between the first and second telephony clients such that more than a single type of telephony client may be implemented. In a specific embodiment, the security algorithm is inserted within the first computer's operating system kernel.
