CryptoPhone...! probably the first secure mobile phone.

Thanks to the unprecedented rise in wiretapping, private call information is less private now.

The trend has gained momentum, particularly over the past few years, as intelligence agencies across the globe are increasingly intercepting calls to tap sensitive information be it political, military or economic in nature. Moreover, although protecting privacy is possible with the use of encryption, robust and reliable encryption is not always available. This has left many users with information security concerns. However, an ordinary-looking mobile device that runs on Symbian has come as a solution to many an interception problem.

The device, CryptoPhone, is the probably the first secure mobile phone with full source code available for independent review.

These cellular, desktop or satellite phones provide security against interception of calls. Both the parties on a call need to use a CryptoPhone in order to ensure a secure, truly private conversation. At the core of the technology are robust algorithms. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Twofish that enable better encryption and voice processing. The device has come as a relief for accountants; bankers; corporate executives; management, tax and security consultants, doctors, government officials, journalists, law enforcement officers, lawyers, merger and acquisition (M&A) specialists, private investigators and others who handle a lot of private and sensitive information.
