We just read yesterday about the incident of a SecNews reader's mobile phone being hacked, possibly by government agencies! And yet there are extremely simple solutions to protect ourselves, especially if our goal is to safeguard valuable corporate and business data!
The recent news, with the Snowden revelations and the numerous individual cases of wiretapping being made public, has helped us realize the magnitude of the threat to the privacy of sensitive communications and information. Governments, organizations and businesses are faced with a complex problem.
The leading solutions for protecting the privacy of conversations are from the American KOOLSPAN® and effectively combine maximum security with practicality. Government agencies, the largest financial institutions and multinational companies rely on KOOLSPAN® to protect the privacy of their telephone conversations.
At the heart of the system is the TrustChip®, a cryptographic processor in the form of an SD card, with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification. The TrustChip® undertakes the encryption, isolated from the vulnerable operating systems of the devices and uses Quantum seeding to create keys that are never circulated outside of the TrustChip®. Each voice packet is encoded with a different key and as the company states, even if it were legally obliged to offer a backdoor to government agencies, it could not comply because it simply does not know how to make this possible.
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cites hardware-based “Roots of Trust” as a prerequisite for enhanced cryptographic security. TrustChip® is one of the few, if not the only, solution that meets NIST requirements with technologies protected by dozens of patents.
Today KOOLSPAN® ensures communication on Android mobile phones, iPhone (with a special case), Blackberry and fixed IP telephony with standalone desktop devices or via the TrustBridge® to any call center.
Even in the most basic configuration, i.e. communication between two mobiles with TrustCall® via the international infrastructure of KOOLSPAN® , strong encryption completely secures the content of the conversations. For larger installations or where absolute control is required, KOOLSPAN® is the only company that offers the infrastructure to the end customer. Thus, the customer autonomously manages communications and rights on a single platform with additional functions such as integration with MDM platforms (e.g. AirWatch).
TrustChip® also provides encryption for secure text messaging through the TrustText® , while with TrustBox® it secures your files in the cloud (dropbox, etc.).
It is worth noting that through the TrustChip® Developer Kit (TDK) an interface is provided for easy implementation of applications that will make use of the encryption capabilities of the TrustChip®.
