Frequently Asked Questions
kryptoCOM is available ONLY pre-installed on HTC Touch Viva GSM.
Encrypted calls are possible ONLY among kryptoCOM handsets.
WHY TO CHOOSE KRYPTOCOM?
- we guarantee and certify absence of backdoors, even for lawful interception
- the encryption keys are newly generated for each call and then securely deleted (multiple re-writing cycles not to allow recovering the keys even should you lose your handset)
- we cannot know ourselves the encryption keys generated
- we do not rely on publicly available encryption libraries which might be used for Lawfull interception.
- we use end-to-end encryption, without having to rely on VoIP servers which can only rely on service providers’ trust. (a good reason not to choose VoIP!)
