Crypto Phone?

What is a Crypto Phone?

CryptoPhones are cellular, desktop or satellite phones that provide security against anyone listening in on your calls. To set up a secure call, both parties need to use a CryptoPhone.

What threats does the CryptoPhone protect against?

CryptoPhone was designed to offer security against anyone who tries to listen into your calls, both inside the telephone network and on the air. The CryptoPhone provides end-to-end security so the call is fully encrypted all the way between the two CryptoPhones.

Today`s complex telephone systems make it impossible to predict what path a phone call takes inside the network. Calls are routinely transported over unencrypted directional microwave radio links that are subject to easy interception with even modest equipment. In order to save costs, calls are frequently routed through networks or operators that might have dubious security standards. Your whole business confidentiality might get compromised by a single corrupt phone company employee. There exists a device known as IMSI-Catcher which allows anyone to listen into mobile phone calls. IMSI-Catchers are readily available on the market and are being used with increasing frequency.

All these threats can be eliminated by using the CryptoPhone
