Interception technology is cheap and widely accessible – the required equipment can be purchased for less than $10.000 over the Internet – and many parties possess the tools needed to attack the confidentiality of mobile voice and data communication. While many IT executives think mobile phones represent a weak point in corporate IT security, only a small number of businesses protect their mobile communication. This does not change the fact however that in the modern business environment people regularly discuss sensitive and confidential information on cell phones. This poses threat to business secrecy, executive safety, or financial transaction confidentiality. Secfone protects the confidentiality of your phone calls against a number of different forms of attacks.
Eavesdropping is the act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent. With the technology required for eavesdropping getting cheap and widely accessible – anybody can buy the required equipment through the Internet for less than $10 000 – this type of attack is an increasingly common threat. Secfone provides protection from eavesdropping using 448-bit Blowfish encryption for voice communication, regularly changing the keys through an encrypted RSA channel.
