Certification will allow large-scale UK Government deployment of encrypted voice calls on BlackBerry® smartphones

London, UK – January 26th, 2012: Cellcrypt (www.cellcrypt.com), a leading provider of encrypted voice calling on mobile phones, today announced that Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ for BlackBerry® is in CESG CAPS evaluation.

CAPS (CESG Assisted Products Service) is a UK Government Cryptographic Evaluation Service run by CESG, the UK’s National Technical Authority for Information Assurance.  Achieving CAPS certification will allow UK Government departments to use Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ to meet their Baseline (IL3, RESTRICTED) security needs.

Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ is designed to provide end-to-end voice call encryption on commercially available off-the-shelf BlackBerry® smartphones for UK Government. It is an easy-to-use software application that makes secure calling as easy as making a normal mobile phone call and uses the IP data channel of cellular (2G, 3G, and 4G) and satellite networks.

“Acceptance into CAPS evaluation is a significant step that further strengthens Cellcrypt’s market position,” said Richard Greco, CEO of Cellcrypt. “Approval by such a highly respected global leader in information assurance like CESG would be a powerful validation that Cellcrypt products have effective security that is properly implemented.”

Cellcrypt Mobile Baseline™ will be commercially available soon after successful completion of the CAPS evaluation process and can be demonstrated today.
