Overview
SecurePhone allows you to use your Windows-based PC like a
secure telephone.
Conversations can be held over the Internet (using your existing
TCP/IP stack) or over an ordinary telephone line (using a
modem).

Keep Your Conversations Top Secret!
When you talk over a data network, anybody connected to
that network can potentially eavesdrop on your conversation. SecurePhone
provides state-of-the-art encryption technology to protect against
interception by third parties. SecurePhone is stronger than most
digital cellular telephone services — a real plus for laptop
users on the go.
Authenticated Connections
SecurePhone's strong authentication features allow you
to be sure of the identity of the person with whom you are speaking.
Lower Telephone Bills
SecurePhone lets you keep in touch with people around the
world without incurring long distance phone charges. By sending
compressed and encrypted digital voice packets over the Internet,
SecurePhone maintains high quality voice transmission while bypassing
the traditional telephone network. (NOTE: Connection charges
with your ISP and local telephone company tolls will apply.)
Technical Specifications
- Voice Quality: Lucent elemedia® software codecs provide
"better than toll quality" voice compression at 10Kbps
(20Kbp in full duplex mode) and low bandwidth support at 3Kbps
(6Kbps in full duplex mode)
- Encryption Algorithms: DES (FIPS 46-2 & 81), Triple-DES
(ANSI X9.52), and DESX
- Key Exchange Mechanism: Diffie-Hellman (ANSI X9.42)
- Entity Authentication: Strong authentication following FIPS
196
- Cryptographic Strength: 512-, 1024-, and 2048-bit public keys
Special Features
- Two-way voice communication allows users to speak to one another
