Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline is a software only solution that
encrypts voice callson smartphones such as
Android™,
BlackBerry®, iPhone® and Nokia® running as GSM, CDMA and
satellite networks. Providing
government-grade
security in an easy-to-use application that makes secure
calling as simple as making a normal
call on the same device.
Cellcrypt's software solutions allow many types of cell
phones to be supported and can
be deployed to users in remote
locations over the air in minutes.
Cellcrypt’s encryption technology has been certified to
FIPS 140-2 security standard, approved by the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology. Cellcrypt's cryptography includes
industry-standard high-strength algorithms
including 2048-bit RSA for authentication, Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman and RSA
protocols for key exchange, and
256-bit AES for voice encryption. For added security, the data is encrypted
twice using 256-bit RC4 and AES.
Founded in 2005, Cellcrypt's R&D
innovation resulted in Encrypted Mobile Content Protocol (EMCP), an Internet
Protocol based technology that optimizes delivery of encrypted data between
mobile devices over wireless networks.
EMCP solves the technical challenge of delivering reliable high-performance
encryption of voice data over networks
with low bandwidth and varying connectivity. By providing end-to-end cell phone
encryption solutions, Cellcrypt protects
against the risk of call interception over multiple segment of the call path
between callers, which includes the wireless
network between cell phone and base stations, fixed lines within and between
carrier networks and Internet backhaul.
Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ for BlackBerry® is in CESG CAPS evaluation. CAPS
(CESG Assisted Products Service)
is a UK Government Cryptographic Evaluation Service run by CESG, the UK’s
National Technical Authority for Information
Assurance. Achieving CAPS certification will allow UK Government departments to
use Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ to
meet their Baseline (IL3, RESTRICTED) security needs.
Cellcrypt's secure voice solutions are used routinely by governments, corporate
enterprises and consumers worldwide
and
support cellular networks in 200+ countries for easy and consistent
international calling. Cellcrypt has local partners
worldwide
that provide voice security consulting services including reselling and
implementing Cellcrypt-based solutions.
In addition
Cellcrypt is proud to have several strategic alliances including RIM BlackBerry®
and Inmarsat.
Hacker Developments: New and Emerging Threat
Hackers have been researching and attacking cellular systems for many years and
have publicized vulnerabilities and
developed equipment that exploits known weaknesses. Multiple types of equipment
have been demonstrated in live
environments to intercept cellular calls. Much of the research and equipment is
available for anybody to build and use.
Both active and passive attack equipment has been developed.
