CellCrypt today introduced CellCrypt Mobile™ for iPhone, enabling iPhone users to join users of Android, Blackberry, and Nokia smartphones in placing secure and encrypted voice calls over any wireless internet connection (including EDGE and 1xRTT!). The product, aimed at organizations such as Law Enforcement, Government, and Intelligence agencies, enables encryption of sensitive but unclassified (SBU) voice traffic between enabled handsets. The mobile client for iPhone (available in the App Store), is free, but requires a license from CellCrypt for use. It supports Elliptical Curve Diffie-Hellman and RSA key exchange protocols, and 256-bit AES and RC4 for encryption. Interestingly, it’s not an either-or choice, packets are first encrypted with RC4 and then encrypted again with AES – which helps foil brute-force attacks on the AES ciphertext. (In other words, it looks like the designers included cryptographers who know what they are doing versus bolting on a generic crypto library).
Pricing information can be obtained by contacting CellCrypt directly. It is unknown whether or not it has been tested on the iPod Touch or iPad.
