Green light | Secure call established | Connection established and secure. You can now speak securely |
Checking your security
A PrivateWave call is always encrypted. The call is automatically secured during the call setup. As soon as the call is established you can immediately start to talk securely with your call peer.
The security of the call is based on a digital certificate verification on the SIP/TLS server. If a certificate error appears check whether the date of your phone is correct. If the date is correct it is possible that the certificate is wrong, misconfigured or expired or that your phone is undergoing a security attack. In these cases always contact your system administrator.

Every event performed or received on your PrivateWave is listed into the "History" view, which can be displayed by selecting "Recent" item in the Main view.
