12 Encrypted recording
The Call Recorder Single Digital features a system for encrypted
recording whereby IC cards called CryptoCards are used as a key.
Encrypted recordings are made to prevent unauthorized playback of and
listening to recordings. The system is very safe and recommended when
some sort of security breach is possible. Examples of such a situation are:
•
The recorder is connected to a network or even internet and
there are reasons to think that password security is not enough.
•
The recorder can be accessed and operated by persons who are
not allowed to listen to all recordings and there are reasons to
think that password security is not enough.
•
Privacy is considered to be an issue and therefore strict
procedures must be maintained around listening to the
recordings.
The CryptoCard is a chip card that holds the key to the encryption and
decryption. Encrypted recordings can only be played back together with
the original or a matching CryptoCard and its password.
The recorder is equipped with an external card reader specifically for
this purpose; it is located on the left front side of the device.
CryptoCards can be obtained from your Vidicode products supplier. The
use of the CryptoCard encryption function is enabled in the Settings
menu. See § 4.14 to enable the use of a CryptoCard.
12.1 Several types of CryptoCard
As mentioned there are cards that can be used for recording and for
playback and there are cards that can be used for recording only, the so
called “Privacy Cards”. It is important to understand the difference.
•
When it is important to be able to listen to recordings on the
recorder, use the standard CryptoCard.
•
When you prefer that it is not possible to listen to recordings on
the recorder, use the CryptoCard Privacy card.
It is also possible to supply sets of individual cards with a “Master Card”
that can be used to decode all the individual cards. The application is
when employees are only allowed to listen to their own recordings
while, when needed, the management must have the ability to listen to
all recordings.
