Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for securely exchanging security keys and monitoring links in an IP communications network. The apparatus is disposed between the local device and the remote device and receives a security key associated with the secure communication(s) for the local device. The apparatus then uses the security key to decode one or more messages transmitted between the local device and the remote device. The apparatus may initiate one or more security protocols whenever the decoded message(s) satisfy one or more criteria. Note that the present invention can be implemented as a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium wherein each step is performed by one or more code segments.
