The SI technology establishes a strong user protection against spam and undesired contacts:
At first, the user can easily manage his or her public address, being not limited to a single public address. This is doing by means of adding and removing addresses or changing their status.
At second, a SI public address has no strict formatting so there is no ability to extract such an address automatically from a web page of other source by malicious programs.
At third, in addition to ordinary public addresses, the user has the ability to register a personalized SI address that is not anonymous. For example, an officially registered data as name, surname, family name or photo can be used as such an address. A call to a personalized address may be possible only if a calling user initiated the call procedure under own personalized address. SI server may apply similar rules for public addresses corresponding to registered officials, organizations and companies. In this case, SI technology completely removes any anonymity of a network communication and therefore any risk of a spam and phishing attack.
The user may also apply additional rules restricting incoming calls like allowed call time and allowed callers or use a combination of those settings. While the user defines these rules via his or her terminal, they are stored and applied at the server side not at the user terminal side in opposition to many existing telecommunication systems. This allows an early blocking of undesired traffic before it hits a customer connection channel, a service provider or corporate local network.
