Claim:
1. A computer implemented method for enabling secure communications between computing devices, the method comprising: under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, receiving, at a first computing device associated with an intended receiver, a communication from a second computing device associated with an indicated sender, the communication associated with information about an actual sender of the communication captured by the second computing device at an approximate time of generating the communication, the information including at least one of an image of the actual sender, voice data captured of the actual sender, or typing pattern information of the actual sender; identifying, using the communication, profile data associated with the indicated sender; determining a level of similarity between the information of the actual sender and the profile data associated with the indicated sender; generating a confidence value for the communication based on the level of similarity, the confidence value represents a metric that indicates a likelihood that the actual sender is same as the indicated sender, wherein an increase in the level of similarity corresponds to an increase in the confidence value; determining the confidence value is less than a threshold value; receiving additional information about the actual sender; modifying the confidence value based at least in part on the additional information; and displaying, by the first computing device, the communication and a graphical indication of the confidence value.
