# Call Recording Encryption

To comply with data protection regulations and to provide enhanced security, the PBX provides the option to encrypt call recordings with a user provided public key.

# Generating a Public/Private key pair.

To enable call recording encryption you will first need to generate a Public/Private key pair.

To create a Public/Private key-pair we recommend using OpenSSL

Windows users

Download OpenSSL for Windows (https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries)

To run the commands below, go to the OpenSSL32 directory on your PC, and change to the /bin directory

You may need to open the command prompt with admin privileges (run as administrator) and you will need to restart your computer before generating a certificate.

Mac users

OpenSSL comes shipped with Mac OS X version 10.6.2 onwards.

You can use Terminal to run OpenSSL (Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal or search for ‘terminal’ using the search bar in the top right hand corner of your screen) run the commands below.

You may need to run each OpenSSL command lines with elevated privileges. – add sudo before each command as needed.

Using OpenSSL

The basics command line steps to generate a private and public key using OpenSSL are as follows:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout myprivatekey.pem -x509 -days 1825 -out mypublickey.pem

WARNING!

STORE YOUR PRIVATE KEY IN A SAFE, SECURE LOCATION. IF THE PRIVATE KEY IS LOST, ENCRYPTED FILES CAN NOT BE DECRYPTED

# Enabling Call Recording Encryption.

To enable call recording encryption you will first need to log into the https://mycloud.telair.com.au Portal.

Once logged in, click on 'My Services' and then expand the 'Voice' section.

Select the PBX you wish to enable call recording encryption.

Hover over 'Addons' and click 'Configure Addons'.

Enable the call recording encryption and paste a copy of your PUBLIC KEY.

Click 'Save'

Recorded calls will now have a “.enc” suffix to identify call recorded with a user provided public key.

# Decrypting Call Recordings

To decrypt call recordings, use the following command. (Adjust for your filename..)

openssl smime -decrypt -binary -in RECORDING_NAME.mp3.enc -inform DER -out RECORDING_NAME.mp3 -inkey myprivatekey.pem
