SEC-TEL ENCRYPTION FEATURES

The technology is based around two internal tamper-proof SmartCards.   One delivers standard GSM services, whilst the other, issued by a globally recognised Trust Centre, delivers powerful authentication and encryption using established and open protocols.    This is known as the Crypto-Sim or Netkey card.   These two technologies are merged to create a unique, unbreakable cipher key for each and every call – providing failsafe point-to-point authentication and unbreachable privacy from one  handset to another.

The Encryption-system employed is a hybrid mechanism, widely used in high security products.    The Sec-Tel  phone achieves full bi-directional authentication with the secret keys held securely in, and never leaving, the safe environment of the Netkey card

A new IDEA or AES session key is randomly generated to start the voice encryption process on  the telephone before any speech is transmitted.   Sec-Tel devices negotiate the session key and type of algorithm during connection set-up as part of transmission-path authentication.  At the end of the call, the session key is securely discarded and not used again – all power is removed from the crypto module to ensure that all data in respect of the call is destroyed.

Fully integrated HW module based on Intel Strong Arm Processor and DVSI advanced speech Vocodor for superior speech quality.

Well established Open protocol Encryption Standards employed, RSA, IDEA, AES, SHA-1, MD5

User Authentication by asymmetric RSA 1024bits x 509 v3 certificates (in keycard)
