Cellcrypt Solutions for Supply Chain and Partners

The Secure Option for Policy, Procurement, and Legal Discussions

Cellcrypt Solutions for Supply Chain and PartnersNational government departments, their employees, and the supporting community of suppliers, contractors, consultants and advisors are subject to ongoing and ever-increasing cyber-attacks, including the targeting and interception of mobile phone communications. As an extension of the business of government, the supply chain and partner community are required to meet the same operational security policies as the government itself in dealing with classified and unclassified information.

However, despite the same risks and handling of the same information, the commercial sector that makes up the supply chain and partner community often do not implement the same levels of protection for the majority of information that is shared, especially at the sensitive but unclassified level. Mobile phones are an essential and ubiquitous tool for business and, out of necessity or convenience, are often used to discuss sensitive information about important government business both on direct calls and conference calls.

These calls are targets for adversaries seeking commercial competitive advantage as well as intelligence on plans, policies and future government capabilities as well as those targeting individuals with the intent to harm or exhort.

The leading provider of encrypted mobile phone voice calling, Cellcrypt’s cost-effective, easy-to-use software solutions enable secure communications for procurement and policy professionals wherever and whenever required. Cellcrypt’s highly scalable and quickly deployable solutions offer a secure option for policy, procurement, and legal discussions outside the office and among multiple and changing communities of interest. Additionally, Cellcrypt enables contractors to ensure the integrity and security of the data, complying with government mandates to safeguard information.

Operating System

  • AndroidTM
  • BlackBerry®
  • iOS
  • Symbian S60 (Nokia E-Series, N-Series devices)
     

Any IP-enabled network, e.g.

  • GSM/CDMA
  • 2G
  • 3G
  • 4G
  • Satellite
  • Wi-Fi™

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.
