vCon Overview and Asterisk Primer

A vCon (virtualized conversations) is a standardized, machine-readable container for data from any type of human conversation, such as a phone call, video conference, or chat. Developed by the IETF, it standardizes how conversational data, including audio, video, text, metadata, and attachments, is collected, stored, and shared across different systems. Attend this session to get an overview of this area, the possibilities and security implications. We'll also look at a couple of ways to have Asterisk create vCons for you.
