SecureSMS Deployment
CellTrust SecureSMS can be pre-loaded on the mobile phones by manufacturers, or sold through a carrier’s dedicated app store or other distribution platforms. Mobile operators can easily integrate our products and offerings into their existing infrastructure to provide secure and reliable, revenue generating enterprise solutions or consumer products to their customers.

CellTrust’s SecureSMS patent-pending technology provides the only turnkey system for management of encrypted messaging, via the mobile network control channel, through a secure gateway interface. This provides numerous advantages over standard SMS messaging and other secure SMS products:

  Full Scalability
  Secure end-to-end encryption up to 256 bit (HIPAA, FIPS, FISMA, Sarbanes-Oxley compliant) with each client handset utilizing its own unique decryption key
  CellTrust SecureSMS console allows you to push security policies directly to the handset
  Delivery Status and reception acknowledgement
  Up to 5000 characters per message
  Discreet message life, and recall– determines life span of message or recalls and removes
  Fully secured contact listings
  Failed login & remote wiping for protection and removal of discreet data
  Award winning and certified with major carriers, operating systems, and manufacturers


How We Make SMS Secure
Since SMS data is delivered as relatively short messages, encryption is used to manipulate the data in a way that is fundamentally difficult to reverse without knowledge of a secret key. Symmetric key algorithms are deployed for FDE applications. The NIST-approved algorithms for symmetric key algorithms are AES and TDES. The AES algorithm is specified in FIPS Pub 1972. AES encrypts and decrypts data in 128-bit blocks using 128-, 192- or 256-bit keys. NIST specifically states: “All three key sizes are considered adequate for Federal Government applications up through Classified Secret.” There are three basic classes of NIST-approved Cryptographic algorithms:

  To encrypt relatively short messages
  To compute digital signatures
  To establish or verify cryptographic keying material
