Cellcrypt is a Trusted Source for Secure Cellular

A Trusted Source for Secure Cellular

From the Battlefield to the Border...and Beyond

Cellcrypt is the leading provider of encrypted cell phone voiceCellular technology is an integral part of every agency’s telecommunications infrastructure. Whether you’re in federal, state, or local government, cellular provides a ubiquitous interoperable tool for real time communications across agencies and varying levels of government.

As the mobility requirements for government officials increase, out of convenience or necessity, so too does the requirement to maintain a vital lifeline back to headquarters, as well as the ability to share critical information conveniently, efficiently, and effectively. But as the technology has proliferated, so too have the methods and tools of attack, offering foreign operatives/intelligence agencies, terrorists, and other adversaries easy access to a world of information.

Cellcrypt is the leading provider of encrypted cell phone voice calling through its cost-effective, easy-to-use software solutions that enable secure communications wherever and whenever required. Cellcrypt provides previously unmatched levels of security by protecting sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information, which could account for as much as 90 percent of all government communications. Cellcrypt leverages the ubiquity of the cell phone to provide the broadest reach and widest device support, allowing agencies to communicate seamlessly and securely. 

Cellcrypt Secure Voice

In addition, Cellcrypt’s end-to-end security solutions are transport independent and work over all cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and satellite, making them the most convenient solution for protecting SBU telephonic data across government. Cellcrypt secures cellular communications across the public network when private networks are unavailable or untenable.

From the battlefield to the border and beyond, Cellcrypt locks down cellular communications, securing information and protecting SBU conversations from interception and unauthorized disclosure in these key areas: Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Intelligence Community, Law Enforcement, Administrative, Procurement/Policy and National Critical Infrastructure.

Operating System

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

Any IP-enabled network, e.g.

  • GSM/CDMA
  • 2G
  • 3G
  • 4G

  • 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.
