The
Absolute Secure Mobile Communications over GSM
Enigma
provides strong end-to-end encryption for voice communication
on the standard GSM networks using the raw data service capabilities
of the GSM network and state-of-the-art cryptographic technology.
The hardware and software components of Enigma have been built
to meet the most stringent government and military security requirements.
Enigma operates either as a normal mobile phone or it can operate
securely. In secure mode, it is possible to communicate with other
Enigma units, or with land lines equipped with LineCrypt. Stylish,
easy to use and despite being one of the lightest models on the
market Enigma is ideal for everyday business use.
Why
Enigma?
The GSM system is a superb communication system for all - the
world over. It does however have well-publicised weaknesses that
make it inappropriate for exchanging confidential or sensitive
information.
Conventional
GSM calls can be monitored or infiltrated by readily available
surveillance equipment. End-to-end security is not provided, nor
is it possible to authenticate the individual with which you are
in contact. ‘Middle Man Attack’ from false base stations are a
real threat, as is the cloning of SIM cards.
At the IEEE
"Secure Mobile Communications Conference" in Sept 2005,
it was announced that the cost of the equipment required to simulate
a base station and intercept a conversation while relaying it
to the intended party had dropped to under £5000.
Consequently, this ability is no longer confined to the budgets
of governments and large organisations - Almost anyone could be
listening.
Total
simplicity
To make a secure call with the Enigma, all you have to do is dial
the number and press the"Crypto" button. And since you
can only make encrypted calls to other Enigma, the system is totally
secure. Enigma will work on all GSM 1800/900 mobile communication
networks. It has the hallmarks of a business mobile phone. When
these are combined with its integrated encryption system it becomes
the superior business product. There is no need for a second mobile
phone. Enigma is as happy making normal calls as it is secure
calls. Enigma is not tied to any specific network, it uses your
existing mobile telephone number for both normal and secure calls.
There is no
need to purchase or install any server and there is no need to
make changes to the network . Two Enigma mobile phones are all
that is needed to make secure calls while on the move. Secure
calls cost exactly the same as normal data calls, while connection
times require only an extra 7 seconds for initialisation of the
encryption algorithms. From the network perspective, a crypto
call would be seen as a normal data/modem/fax call.
