While GSM is a reasonably secure cellular telecommunications system, its well-publicised weaknesses make it unsuitable for exchanging confidential or sensitive information. 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.

‘Man-in-the-middle’ attacks from false base stations are a real threat, as is the cloning of SIM cards. The IPS Encrypted Mobile Phone is a totally secure, fully upgradeable mobile phone that uses military-level encryption to enable unbreachable communication with other Enigma users via all standard GSM networks.

Pioneering design merges these two technologies to create a unique, unbreakable ‘cyphering key’ for each and every call – providing failsafe point-to-point authentication and unbreachable privacy within a closed user group. The encrypted mobiles can be used as ‘stand alone’ units.

Alternatively they can be incorporated into a PSTN/ISDN system when using our Snom Cryptophone service
