GENERAL QUESTIONS
What is a CryptoPhone?

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?

We designed the CryptoPhone 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.

How do I know that the CryptoPhone is right for me?

When you are operating with sensitive information that could possibly cause danger or damage to you or your clients if compromised, the CryptoPhone is right for you. If you ever have talked on the phone and thought "lets hope that this call has not been intercepted by someone", the CryptoPhone is right for you. If you have ever have talked about a deal worth a million Euros or more on the phone, the CryptoPhone is also right for you.

What are your typical customers?

Typical customers are corporate executives, lawyers, accountants, bankers, mergers & acquisition specialists, consultants (management, tax, security), journalists, law enforcement officers, government officials, doctors, private investigators and other people who simply prefer to communicate in private.

So why should I buy your crypto phone?

• It offers the best cryptographic security available on the market.
• It is very easy to use.
• The source code of the firmware is published, meaning it is under constant review by experts for security.
• It has been developed without any government interference and does not provide any third party access to the encrypted communication or key material.
• It is much more affordable than any competing product.
• A Free Windows program to turn any PC into a CryptoPhone-compatible secure landline phone is available.
• It is based on standard hardware, which allows you to buy accessories at normal market prices.

The team that built this crypto-phone has spent the better part of fifteen years thinking about it. During this time, we have brainstormed with the top security people around the globe on how to do it right. One thing was clear from the start: the computer code behind the system must be available to the cryptographic/academic community (and to the public at large) to allow flaws and backdoors to be discovered and fixed as fast as possible. As far as we know, there is no secure cellular, landline, or satellite phone on the market that offers this extremely important feature.
