14 DAY TRIAL // Leading provider of strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients SRA International, Inc. announced today the launch of its SRA One Vault Voice solution for BlackBerry smartphones. According to the company, the new encrypted voice communications technology is meant to offer users the possibility to make and receive secure voice calls at a controlled, unclassified information level.
The new SRA One Vault Voice solution is a voice communications application that combines SRA’s application for BlackBerry smartphones, and its management system and an authentication server with the TrustChip hardened encryption module from KoolSpan, which results in a cost-effective, peer-to-peer voice solution. Moreover, the company also says that the new solution is meant to protect the user’s voice communications, that it can prove a great solution for government and enterprise customers, and that it can be also extended to offer protection for other information too.
“Despite a high, widespread operational need for secure mobile voice communication by government agencies and commercial entities, adoption of secure phones has been impeded because they are expensive, difficult to use, cumbersome to handle, easily recognizable and require isolated networks,” SRA Offerings and Products Senior Vice President Pat Burke said. “SRA One Vault Voice remedies those issues by providing an inexpensive and discreet way to conduct secure phone conversations. In a marketplace where 50 percent of mobile calls on a daily basis include sensitive or confidential information, SRA’s One Vault Voice solution is particularly relevant given the recent reports on the security of the global system for communication (GSM) encryption codes.”
SRA also notes that its One Vault Voice enables users to select the calling method they prefer, regardless of whether it's cell or Wi-Fi based dialing. According to the company, the call process is FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated for both enterprise and government customers. The new solution could safeguard sensitive information through the use of an efficient model for mobile-information protection, the company added.
