Adeya Launches Encrypted Voice & Data Solution for BlackBerry OS 7 at ITU Telecom World
GENEVA, October 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Adeya, the Swiss mobile security company, has announced today that its
Adeya for Voice(TM) and Adeya for Data(TM) encryption solutions are ready
for the new generation of BlackBerry(R) smartphones[1]. These solutions
guarantee secure voice, data transmission and messaging over all wireless
public networks, including WiFi, EDGE, 2G, 3G, and satellite.
The security community has known for years that mobile communications
are at risk - what has changed recently is the ease with which such hacking
can take place. GSM calls can be intercepted using consumer-level equipment
costing less than $5,000 with freely available software. This will mean that
mobile phone security is no longer just a problem for celebrities and chief
executives: anyone whose personal information could have a cash value is at
risk. And, as people increasingly use their smartphones as an extension of
their office, the risk to our financial and personal information will only
grow.
"Adeya is a software solution that installs in minutes on unmodified
mobile devices," says Leo Bolchanine, founder and CTO. "It provides an
end-to-end security layer, ensuring voice and data privacy using the proven
public encryption standard, AES-256. We strongly believe in open standards,
not proprietary algorithms, because they are rigorously tested by the
security community. AES-256 is shown not to be breakable in practical use."
Already available for Nokia S60 and BlackBerry(R) 5.0 devices, Adeya for
Voice(TM) and Adeya for Data(TM) were developed primarily for governments
and global corporations. They provide not just secure communication with
excellent voice quality over any wireless network, but security of data on
the mobile device itself - emails, contacts, messages and documents -
protecting users both from interception and from physical theft or loss of
the device. Adeya's solution is user-friendly, intuitive, and can be managed
remotely, so that data can be secured, erased, or reinstalled. Secure
conference calls are supported without requiring an operator.
Adeya is an independent Swiss company safeguarding communications for
public and private sector organizations. Based near Geneva, Adeya combines
software experts, telecoms engineers, and ex-law enforcement officers with
high-level experience in data and financial security. In business since
2007, its roots are in systems security for Swiss banks and multinational
companies.
Solutions for iPhone(R), Android(TM) and Windows Mobile(TM) will be
available for large-scale deployment in the fourth quarter.
