What sort of encryption is used in SaveCell? |
The algorithm used is called ‘Blowfish’ produced by Bruce Schneier, a very respected cryptographer. He is the author of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) which is extensively used by email clients. For further information, see his website at http://www.schneier.com/blowfish.html .
This algorithm has also been built into the Linux™ operating system kernel code because it is good and not subject to any US Government export restrictions. The key used in SaveCell may be up to 16 bytes long, giving 128-bit encryption.
The scrambling provides a very high level of privacy between users, as Contact data passing over the network is useless to anyone that does not know the Scramble Key. Supervisory traffic between SaveCell Vault and phone is not scrambled, but as the user’s Scramble Key never goes over the network, only a check value being passed, that is of little concern.
