Cellcrypt Solutions for Administrative Agencies

Foreign and National Governing Entities Rely on Secure Cellular Communications

Cellcrypt’s cost-effective, easy-to-use software solutions enable secure communications for government officialsThe White House, Congress, Department of State, and other government organizations routinely rely on wireless technology to communicate daily business. Recently invoked telework goals have led to even more government conversations being conducted via cellular communications. Much of the data communicated is classified as sensitive but unclassified (SBU) – inconsequential as standalone conversations, but extremely valuable in the aggregate.

The leading provider of encrypted cell phone voice calling, Cellcrypt’s cost-effective, easy-to-use software solutions enable secure communications for government officials wherever and whenever required. Cellcrypt’s highly scalable and quickly deployable solutions offer a secure option for administrative discussions inside or outside the office, and among multiple and changing communities of interest.

Additionally, foreign diplomats, embassies, and consulates in Washington, D.C. and American dignitaries abroad routinely leverage the convenience and wide availability of the cellular infrastructure to communicate and conduct government business. Whether in the field or in the office, foreign and national government administrative functions must be able to communicate with confidence, knowing that the information they share is protected.

Cellcrypt uses standard encryption technologies including:

  • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for symmetric encryption
  • Elliptic-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for digital signatures
  • Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) for key agreement
  • Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) for message digest

In addition, before these algorithms are processed, Cellcrypt uses additional algorithms for added security (double-wrapping). For example, the voice call is first encrypted using RC4-256 bit and then encrypted again using AES-256 bit.

Public Cryptography
(2048-bit RSA, & ECDSA, ECDH using curves with 384-bit prime moduli)
RSA and ECDSA are used for authentication. The key pairs are generated on the phone during the installation and are unique to each phone. A private key is never shared. The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and RSA algorithms are used for key exchange. The session key is only valid for one phone call and securely destroyed after use.

Symmetric Cryptography
(AES & RC4, both 256 bits)
Both encryption algorithms are used at the same time. The data packet is first encrypted with RC4 and the cipher text is then encrypted again with AES in Counter Mode (CTR). Both algorithms are initialized with the exchanged session keys.

Hashing Algorithms
(SHA512)
Industry standard hashing algorithms are used for increased integrity assurance.

Random Number Generation
A 2048 bit seed pool is generated during the installation and is periodically updated. The initial seed is derived from the microphone input.
