a wide area network port configured to connect the communications device to a wide area network;
a secure memory;
a secure execution environment configured to be inaccessible to a user application software; and
a secure data path processing agent configured to:
execute in the secure execution environment;
generate a unique identifier for communication to a network element in the wide area network;
store the unique identifier in the secure memory;
generate a data record;
associate the unique identifier with the data record; and
send the unique identifier to the network element over a trusted communication link between the secure data path processing agent and the network element.
