Skype Security - Security Policy

Security Policy

The company's security policy includes:

  1. Usernames are unique.
  2. Callers must present a username and password or other authentication credential.
  3. Each caller provides the other with proof of identity and privileges whenever a session is established. Each verifies the other’s proof before the session is allowed to carry messages.
  4. Messages transmitted are encrypted from caller to caller. No intermediate node (router) has access to the meaning of these messages.

Famous quotes containing the words security and/or policy:

    ...I lost myself in my work and never felt that marriage would give me the security I wanted. I thought that through the trade union movement we working women could get better conditions and security of mind.
    Mary Anderson (1872–1964)

    Carlyle said “a lie cannot live.” It shows that he did not know how to tell them. If I had taken out a life policy on this one the premiums would have bankrupted me ages ago.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
