Examples of the first and the second electronic devices include, but are not limited to, computers, mobile devices, laptops, palmtops, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The electronic devices can also communicate with each other through the network 105.

[16] The first electronic device 110 connects to second electronic device 115 via network for communication.

[17] In an embodiment the first electronic device 110 can send or receive data for the communication.

[18] The first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115 are configured to send and receive data via the network 105. The network 115 is configured to connect the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115 for the communication between the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115.

[19] A platform is configured in the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115, wherein the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115 are in the same platform. For example, the platform can be Android, Bada, Symbian, Windows or Linux. The platform is configured to detect and notify an unsecured communication between the first electronic device 110 and the second electronic device 115.

[20] In an embodiment, the network includes wireless network for communication. For example, the network can be global system for mobile communication (GSM) network or code division multiple access (CDMA) network.

[21] In another embodiment, the unsecured communication is detected by monitoring first mode and a second mode of the second electronic device 115. The first mode of the second electronic device 115 is the status of a speaker mode of the second electronic device 115. The second mode of the second electronic device 115 is the status of a voice recorder mode of the second electronic device 115.

[22] In yet another embodiment, the unsecured mode of communication in the first mode is when the speaker mode of the second electronic device 115 is switched on. The secured mode of communication in the first mode is when the speaker mode of the second electronic device 115 is switched off.

[23] In further embodiment, the unsecured mode of communication in the second mode is when the voice recorder mode of the second electronic device 115 is switched on. The secured mode of communication in the second mode is when the voice recorder mode of the second electronic device 115 is switched off.

[42] The user at the first electronic device 305 is unaware of the first mode and the second mode of the communication. The platform configured in the first electronic device and the second electronic device detects the status of the second electronic device.

[43] The user at the second electronic device 315 has switched off the first mode, that is the speaker mode, and switched on the second mode, that is the voice recorder mode.

[44] The platform detects the unsecured communication and hence notifies the user at the first electronic device 305 with the two digit status code representing the first and the second mode of communication. For example,

[45] The user at the first electronic device 305 receives notification via SMS or GPRS regarding the status of unsecure communication and comes to know about the type of security breach.

[46] FIG 3b depicts a block diagram of unsecured communication 300b, in accordance with one embodiment.

[47] The user at the first electronic device 320 connects the communication 325 with the user at the second electronic device 330 via the network.

[48] The user at the first electronic device 320 is unaware of the first mode and the second mode of the communication. The platform configured in the first electronic device and the second electronic device detects the status of the second electronic device.

[49] The user at the second electronic device 330 has switched on the first mode, that is the speaker mode, and switched on the second mode, that is the voice recorder mode.

[50] A person 335 and a person 340 may here the communication and hence the communication is unsecured.

[51] The platform detects the unsecured communication and hence notifies the user at the first electronic device 320 with the two digit status code representing the first and the second mode of communication. For example,

[52] The user at the first electronic device 320 receives notification via SMS or GPRS regarding the status of unsecure communication and comes to know about the type of security breach.
