Encryption done right
We take your privacy seriously. The setup of our service makes no compromise with security.
Secure against any threat
Unlike other services, we do not store user chat messages on our servers, even for a limited period. Communications happen only peer-to-peer when both parties are online, our servers just facilitate the process.
Maximum-size keys
Our apps use AES-256 encryption with 4096-bit RSA and DH keys for PGP and OTR, respectively.
Tried & tested protocols
We use open-source protocols that have been subject to peer review, rendering them free of flaws.
Secure implementations
Crypto Cloud’s solutions feature no backdoors and have been tested for various workarounds.
Multi-layer encryption
Our solutions use encryption for everything – device storage, app databases, and communications.
Pure peer-to-peer messaging
Unlike other services, we do not store user chat messages on our servers, even for a limited period. Communications happen only peer-to-peer when both parties are online, our servers just facilitate the process.
1. Sender is online, recipient is offline
Message doesn’t get sent from sender’s phone.
2. Sender is offline, recipient is online
Message remains unsent on sender's phone (no copy on server).
3. Sender is online, recipient is online
Messages get sent in real time from sender to recipient (P2P).
User control over PGP keys
In PGP encryption, you use the same pair of keys for all your messages. Their security is entirely dependent on the complexity of the keys and how they are stored. Crypto Cloud gives users total control over their keys.
1. Keys generated within the app on the user's device.
2. No keys on Crypto Cloud's servers and no way to replicate them.
3. User messages pass through servers but cannot be decrypted by anyone but the user - who has the keys only on their device.
Calls that leave no trace
Voice encryption is arguably the safest cryptography available. Unlike chats and emails that leave a trail of messages behind, ZRTP-encrypted VoIP calls are encrypted soundwaves that travel over the air and disappear after they get in the recipient’s ear.
The ZRTP process
- The two devices authenticate to each other and exchange encryption keys.
- The audio is encrypted on the sender’s side and travel in encrypted form over the air
- Once received, the audio track is decrypted, played for the recipient, and then deleted
Secure data at rest
Mobile device security is not just about encrypting communications, the information stored on your device also needs protection. To that end, we use multiple layers of encryption.
Shared media
All your media files, logs, and notes are stored in Secure Vault – which is also always locked and encrypted unless you fill in your password.
App storage
Our email and chat apps use encrypted databases that are accessible only with a user-determined pa word. No third-party app or malware can mine data from them.
Device storage
Our Encrypted Android handset features mandatory full-disc encryption with a complex password. This prevents data extraction techniques such as chip-off.
Secure your communications
To reap the security benefits described above, you need a Crypto Cloud device – Encrypted Android, Encrypted Knox, or Encrypted BlackBerry.
