Silent Circle, a global private encrypted communications firm revolutionizing privacy and mobile security, today announced that its Silent Phone app delivering the industry's first peer-to-peer secure encrypted data communications service is now available in Google Play for Android users. Silent Phone is also the first and only service offering that enables secure video via your smartphone over 3G, 4G, EDGE or Wi-Fi networks.
Already available for Apple's iOS devices in the App Store, Silent Phone combines an elegant app interface with state-of-the-art encryption technology and Silent Circle's secure, custom-built Silent Network to protect voice and video call data on cellular and Wi-Fi networks from interception and eavesdropping. Recognized for its high fidelity, unobtrusive nature and signature use of the ZRTP peer-to-peer encryption protocol - which eliminates third-party encryption key management and tampering risks - Silent Phone sets the gold standard for assuring private communications.
To use Silent Phone, customers download the app from Google Play or the App Store and create a Silent Circle account. For a $20.00 per month subscription, a Silent Phone account features a unique "silent" phone number for secure, end-to-end encrypted calls "inside the Circle" between any two Silent Phone subscribers, which are routed through the Silent Network.
Using the just released "Out-Circle Access" option, calls can also be made "outside the Circle" from the Silent Phone app to regular phone lines, with encryption in place between the Silent Phone user and the Silent Network boundary. This enables Out-Circle Access subscribers to make and receive calls to any numbers outside the Silent Network in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico for an additional $29.00 per month.
Utilizing the computing power of today's smartphones and tablets, Silent Circle's apps and private network do not require any hardware modifications, tokens or other ancillary items with users' devices. Subscribers simply gain built-in, high-security apps for calls, texts, e-mail and conferencing (alongside their devices' native apps) that integrate with their existing contacts, favorites and other device information. Silent Circle combines apps and other proprietary technologies to meet the secure communications needs of enterprises and individuals around the world with absolutely no back doors.
