iPhone Voice Encryption from KoolSpan and DeviceFidelity
TrustChip microSD pairs with iCaisse technology to form TrustSleeve for the iPhone
Bethesda, MD — March 11, 2013 — KoolSpan Inc., developer of the TrustChip® family of plug-in mobile security solutions, has entered into technology licensing and product supply agreement with DeviceFidelity Inc., makers of the patented iCaisse family of products for iPhone, to create TrustSleeve. TrustSleeve offers the first ever microSDbased voice encryption for the iPhone.
The combination of a KoolSpan TrustChip microSD with a DeviceFidelity iCaisse4X protective case for the iPhone creates the TrustSleeve. TrustSleeve allows iPhone users to harness the security and FIPS 140-2 level encryption of the TrustChip for voiceencrypted conversations with the TrustCall application.
Once the iPhone is inserted into the TrustSleeve, the TrustChip provides the hardware encryption required to conduct secure phone calls via the TrustCall app. To use TrustCall, users simply launch the mobile app, dial a number or select a contact, and hit “send.” Using TrustCall is as easy as making a regular call, but with the assurance sensitive information will not be intercepted or monitored by a third party.
“DeviceFidelity’s iCaisse provides the final piece of the iPhone security puzzle,” said Gregg Smith, KoolSpan’s CEO. “Hardware-based encryption provides a higher level of security than software alone. Apple has the most advanced accessory ecosystem in the world. iCaisse technology from DeviceFidelity provides KoolSpan the ability to extend its offering to millions of iOS users by seamlessly connecting the TrustChip microSD securely to the iPhone.”
TrustSleeve doubles as an extended battery for the iPhone by providing a removable 1200 mAh battery pack. This extends battery life up to 12 hours of talk or 13.5 hours of Internet use.
“The iCaisse technology was designed to bring mobile security applications to iOS devices,” said DeviceFidelity CEO, Deepak Jain. “We’re delighted that KoolSpan can offer the exciting capabilities of their TrustChip on our iCaisse and to bring to market the first ever hardware-based voice encryption app for the iPhone.”
The TrustSleeve is currently available for the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4. TrustSleeve for iPhone 5 is expected in spring of 2013.
