WISeKey Protects and Encrypts Your Mobile Phone Calls From the Threat of Hacking With WISePhone Secure Phone

GENEVA, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

WISeKey launches WISePhone secure phone application for the Blackberry, in addition to its versions available for the iPhone and Android. WISePhone solves the problem of mobile phone security, by encrypting voice communication anywhere in the world, even in regions where eavesdropping is common.

The release of WISePhone comes when the world is learning about the proliferation of phone tapping activities. Authorities assert that today telecommunication companies offer stronger password systems to access voicemail accounts than just a few years ago, but nevertheless, voice communication offers no promise of privacy.

WISeKey developed WISePhone understanding that interception technology exists and is used more than many are aware. Particularly with the increased data stored and transmitted on Smart Phones, eavesdropping and wiretapping are a genuine concern. People, corporations and governments need to be aware of the real dangers of voice communication interception and take necessary precautions against hacking, corporate espionage and cyber-terrorism.

Gary Shainberg, WISeKey's Chief Innovation & Digital Officer said "by using WISePhone people can be assured that their conversation will stay away from prying ears, thanks to the high level of cryptography used. WISeKey is using its globally recognized, digital security pedigree to make the Internet safe for its users." Shainberg continued "This is just the first iteration of the WISeKey Secure Communications Suite, with more applications coming in the near future."

WISePhone is simple to use and extremely secure. Your communication is secured with transparent, military-grade encryption offering the same level of security used by government agencies. WISePhone works with specific, widely-used Smart phones currently operating in today's mobile environment, so there is no need to buy a special phone.
