Global Secured - Reclaim Your Privacy

With each advancing day, you find that technology is improving by leaps and bounds. You have the latest gadgets to help you in your various endeavors. At the same time, the bad elements such as the hackers are also updating their knowledge in this regard. As you keep on inventing newer technologies, they are exploring newer ways to break the security cordon. This places your data at extreme risk. You need security of the highest level to combat the hackers. The ECC security system is the most advanced one in the market today.

Let us see how they stack up against the existing Blackberry PGP Encryption.

The existing PGP system encrypts your messages as it leaves the phone. Thus, as far as your messages are concerned they should be safe. However, it does not encrypt certain aspects such as the message headers, sender / receiver details, and so on. It does not encrypt video messages, pictures, and chats. The system also does not encrypt details of exchange between the smartphone and the server. This poses great risk to your messages as an intelligent hacker can always gain access and try to find out the contents that could offer a clue to your systems. The ECC 521 plugs all these loopholes completely. There is no chance for the hacker to gain any access to the system.

The ECC security system also allows for deletion of instant messages from the smartphones. Youngsters have this habit of interacting through instant messages. You have hundreds of such mobile apps in the market that allow you to have instant messaging facility. The existing PGP system does not have any facility for deleting these messages. One has to delete them manually. However, the messages do remain the recipient’s phone as well as on the transit servers. This can pose a risk to your data. The ECC allows for deletion of the messages after the recipient has gone through them. It ensures to delete these messages from every location. You have options to delay the deletion by a pre-determined time. No other security system offers this facility.

The system ensures that you have an individual vault in a separate partition in your phone. You can encrypt all data including contact details, chat messages, videos, picture messages, and all other text data as well. Hence, your data remains safe from the eyes of pilfering mongers. You have a password system using which you can lock your phone and deny access to any third person. The best aspect of this system is that you decide the password on your own without any intervention from service providers. This is a great facility that eliminates third party interference.

Data theft can take place anytime and in any fashion. It is up to us to exercise adequate safety by upgrading our systems. In this age of the smart mobile phones, there is unprecedented internet accessing from these instruments. Practically, every person in the world has a smartphone. A majority of them use these phones for conducting various business and financial dealings. Under such circumstances, data is always at risk of being pilfered. The existing PGP security is roving woefully inadequate to handle the crisis. This explains the introduction of a new security system based on Elliptical Curve Cryptography.

The ECC 521 is an exponentially more powerful security system. The defense establishments use such high grade security to share information. This advanced system is almost impossible to hack. Now, this technology is available on your smartphones as well. The system works from an independently partitioned app that is accessible only by you. This is because you are the person who generates the access codes.

There is no question of any third person having access to these codes unless you decide to divulge them yourself. No person in his right frame of mind is expected to do so. However, there can be occasions when someone might threaten or coerce you into divulging the access codes. You can become quite helpless. Does this mean the end of the road for you? It is not so. You can still manage to outwit the hacker by parting with them .

This is a unique system available only in this security app. With this duress password, you are able to erase all the confidential data from your phone in an instant thereby rendering the phone useless to the hacker. In this way, you can safeguard your data from being stolen and misused. There are also chances of you losing the phone somewhere down the line. This can also entail that the data could fall into the wrong hands whereby you are the ultimate sufferer. This security system is an advanced one in the sense that you can erase the data from a remote location. The Remote Wipe functionality allows you to do so. Hence, you can prevent the data falling into nefarious hands.

What does this system encrypt? It is logical for you to have this question. This system encrypts all the messages when you transmit them. Unlike the PGP system, the ECC 521 encrypts the message headers, sender / receiver information, and the exchanges between the servers and your phone as well. You are also able to encrypt video messages, chats, pictures, and other messages as well. This system encloses your personal details including your contacts into a separate vault that has three layers of protection. This makes it absolutely impenetrable.

The mobile phones have literally replaced the computer and the laptops today. The smartphones can do practically everything that a computer does. This includes browsing the internet and conducting your business as well. You can transfer funds from your account to any banking account using the mobile banking apps. You can do online shopping using the mobile apps and make payments using the payment wallets. These activities make your smartphone a fantastic instrument to have. At the same time, it makes for a risky proposition as well. Hence, it becomes imperative to have a strong security system in place. Mobile phone encryption is the answer to such issues. Let us see how this system works to your benefit.

What is mobile phone encryption? This is a valid question. Encryption is a method by which you convert your text messages and other communication into cryptic codes that require a special pass code to decipher. The data on your mobile phone is most vulnerable when it leaves your smartphone and is on the way to the recipient’s phone. In between, it has to content with the wide world of the internet and the transitional servers. The hackers are lurking in the background waiting to pounce on such free messages. These messages can enable the hackers to gain access to your phone and hence your private information as well. It could subsequently result in the wiping out of your bank accounts.

The answer to this menace is to encrypt your messages in such a way that the hackers will not be able to access them in any way. The existing PGP security falls woefully short in this aspect. They encrypt the messages but omit certain vital information such as sender and recipient details and the message header. The latest system developed by Global Secured uses Elliptical Curve Cryptography to combat this menace.  

This system encrypts every part of your message thereby making it extremely secure. In addition, you can encrypt video and audio chats, photos, voice messages, and all other kinds of communication. This makes the ECC 521 the best security system in the market today.

If you have noticed carefully, the youngsters of today love to share instant messages. There is no need to store these messages. However, you find people storing them. This provides the hacker the much needed cushion to hack the systems with ease. In addition, you find the transitional servers saving these messages as well. This is totally uncalled for. The ECC 521 has a self destructing message feature that can delete the message the moment the recipient reads it. It also ensures to delete the messages from the transitional servers. This leaves no chance for the hackers to gain a foothold anywhere. Thus, your phone becomes absolutely secure.

This system has a unique feature in that you can program the system to delete the messages after a pre-determined period. No other security system has these advanced features.

The younger generation loves to do messaging a lot. In doing so, they can share confidential information. It is very natural. This sharing of data can be very dangerous for the user. The hacker would be clapping his hands in glee. He does not have to do anything but hack into the phone of your friend with whom you have shared the information. The messages can give a lot of information about you as well. Is there any way to overcome this problem? Global Secured has an answer to the solution.

To understand how to combat the situation, one should have background information about what happens when you share messages with people. The phone storage system is such that it stores all the messages you send or receive. In addition, the server of the mobile service provider stores the same as well. The same happens at the other end as well. Hence, one can retrieve the messages from four locations. Does the unscrupulous hacker require any further invitation?

What can GS ECC do under the circumstances? This system allows you to send a self destructing message. What can this message do? The main objective of this message is to delete the same from all the four locations the moment the recipient reads the same. This can defeat the purpose of the hacker. In fact, the unscrupulous mobile service provider will also not be in a position to help him.

You can argue that not everyone uses the instant messaging mode. People read the messages at leisure. The ECC 521 system has an answer to such a scenario as well. You can program the system in such a way that the messages self-destruct after a pre-determined time as well. However, the system is such that it destructs the message from all the locations thereby not leaving any trace for the hacker to explore.

The PGP system encrypts the messages as well while transmitting the same. Therefore, people can have doubts as to how this system is better than the existing PGP. We agree that the PGP system encrypts the messages. However, it does not encrypt the message header and the details of the sender and recipient. Under such circumstances, the intelligent hacker can use this information and deduce the nature of the message. This can give him a clue and he might be in a position to judge the contents of the original message. The ECC 521 does not offer any leverage to the hacker. It encrypts the message header and the details of the sender and recipient as well in addition to the encrypting the message. Therefore, the hacker will obtain a series of indecipherable codes if he does manage to procure the information anyhow. This will be of no use to him.

The smartphone has become the most important accessory in recent times. You see everyone using their smartphone to perform various kinds of transactions. It could be business transactions, official correspondence, or even casual communication between friends. Every person in the world has the right to privacy. However, with these smartphones around, people have literally lost this right. Your confidential data is available on view everywhere on the internet. If it falls into the wrong hands, you cannot imagine the havoc it can create. Hence, there is a need to nullify this danger. One of the best ways to do so is to use Message encryption.

People can argue as to why you need message encryption when their mobiles have the latest security measures installed in it. They may take the stand that no one can have access to their phones without their implicit consent. Under such circumstances, it would be logical of them to assume that their data is safe. However, it can come as a rude shock to them that these measures are very useful only as long as the information remains inside their phones. Once the messages start traveling in the wide world of the internet, they become prone to hacking just like any other message. Message encryption can save you in this regard.

Blackberry owners can still argue that they have the Blackberry PGP encryption in place. Hence, there might not be any need for any further security measures. They should know that the ECC security system is infinitely stronger than the present PGP security. We shall see the differences between the two systems in brief.

The existing PGP security system encrypts the message body. However, it does not encrypt the message header as well as the details of the sender and the recipient. A clever hacker can join the links and make a good guess about the contents of the message. The ECC security uses 256 AES encryption for message subject and 521-bit ECC for the message body. It can encrypt the name of the sender and recipient as well. Hence, the hacker will not be in a position to hack into the system easily and wean out the information.

In the case of the PGP system, the exchange of data between the device and server is not encrypted. However, the 2048 SSL encryption in the ECC ensures the encrypted exchange between the device and server as well. This plugs all the leaks.

When you use the PGP system, the mobile service provider creates the private keys for you to use. However, in this ECC system, you create your own keys. Hence, no one but you alone will be able to operate the phone.

You can always use brute force to obtain the password and access the data in the PGP security. This is not possible in ECC security because you can use the duress password to erase all the data from your smartphone thereby rendering the instrument useless. Self-destruction of messages is possible in the ECC but not in the PGP system.

People conversant with the security features of the smartphones would have heard about ECC encrypted messaging. This is the latest fad in town today. You find every new Blackberry phone coming out of the stable having this advanced security feature. This article attempts to highlight the positive features of this secure messaging app.

Instant messaging is nothing new to the youngsters of today. This is one of the easiest and most convenient methods of messaging. You need not wait indefinitely for the recipient to receive the message and respond to the same. The very name, ‘Instant messaging’ says that the messaging is instantaneous. In fact, both the sender and the recipient are online. It is akin to chatting online. In the normal course of events, the present day security systems store these messages as well. Now, is there any need for storing these messages, especially when the recipient has already responded to the same? The answer is that there is no necessity for storing such instant messages. The GS ECC 521 package makes sure that the smartphone system does not store these instant messages.

This security system takes care of the instant messages. However, the other messages need not remain for a long time either. Using this secure messaging app, you can automatically delete the messages from both the sender’s as well as the receiver’s smartphone after a pre-determined period. You have the liberty to decide the period and program the same accordingly. You can set the time from four hours to a day. It depends on the user.

In the older PGP system, you had to depend on the mobile internet service provider to supply you with the access keys. However, there have been many instances in recent times where unscrupulous service providers have caused the downfall of many a person. This ECC system eliminates the use of the mobile service provider because you have the authority to create your own access key.

There can be instances when miscreants can rob you of your phone and compel you to divulge information about your password. You can set up a duress password and divulge it to them. The moment they use this password, the phone self-destructs the entire data making it useless for the miscreant. It can also happen that you might lose your smartphone. Under such circumstances, your data is at risk. There are chances of pilferage of vital information. With this security system in place, you need not worry at all. Using a remote password, you can erase all the data on the phone from wherever you are. The only condition is that both you as well as the lost phone should be online.

The erstwhile PGP method allows you to encrypt text messages alone. The ECC allows for encryption of text messages, photos, voice attachments, and group / chat messages as well. The best part of this system is that it exhibits backward compatibility. This entails that you can communicate with PGP users while using the ECC security system.

People are aware of the security aspect of the data in general. They take great care to ensure the security of their personal information by restricting access to everyone. They use a range of security measures and passwords to safeguard their data. However, they do not pay the same attention when they transmit the data to others over the internet. In fact, this is more dangerous. As you transmit your messages online, you make them vulnerable to attacks from hackers. The servers also store and record such data on a regular basis. They can always reproduce the same when the authorities demand the same. In order to safeguard your personal information, you have to ensure encrypted communication. You can do so by installing encryption software such as PGP and ECC, etc.

The question would arise as to which is the better one and why. Global Secured Inc used the ECC software in their latest Blackberry OS smartphones. Previously, they were using the PGP software. The ECC is an improvement on the PGP in many ways.

We shall see the differences in brief. The safety of the data lies in the encryption of the messages. Both the PGP and the ECC can ensure the encryption of the messages. The difference between the two lies in the encryption of the message headers and the details of the sender and the receiver. The ECC ensures these aspects as well whereas the PGP does not. This makes the ECC a complete software program in comparison.

The message encryption at the sender and receiver level is not the final solution. The message remains in the open state in the server. In other words, the PGP does not encrypt the exchange of the data between the device and the server. The ECC ensures that it does so.

One cannot use brute force to bulldoze through and access data in the ECC platform. The same is possible with the PGP software. The PGP does not encrypt the contact lists and leaves it exposed to attacks. The ECC does not leave any room for anyone to do so in this regard.

Erasing all the data from a remote location is possible in the ECC using the duress password. This is very useful in case someone forces you to divulge information or also in case, you lose the smartphone. This facility is not available in the PGP version.

Self-destruction of messages is available on the ECC platform. The PGP does not have any scope for self-destruction of the messages. This ensures that there is no compromise of data at any stage. In the PGP version, the mobile service provider generates the security keys and uploads the same to the device. In the ECC system, you do this job for your smartphone. This ensures a greater degree of security.

Has the recent rise in cyber-crimes raised your eyebrow? Has the sudden busting of privacy issues by Snowden made you doubt your security? Well, to ease all of this and ensure that you are safe from any type of external cyber-attack, having a secure messaging app is of prime importance.

Heard about message encryption? What is it all about? Who will secure it for you? You must be having a host of queries associated with this security measures. Quite natural!

Here is a list of probable queries that you may have and respective answers associated with these queries to ensure that you follow a correct track.

1. What is secure messaging app?

With the development of present messaging apps as Snap Chat, Whatsapp, Telegram and other domestic apps, the base of people associated with this messaging service is increasing manifold.

Naturally, given the various options in these apps, videos, and private messages are sent from one domain to another. The mode of codifying these messages to save them from being intercepted is known as securing of the messaging app.

2. Why is this message encryption required?

The primary reason for encrypting data is to ensure that while messages are being sent from one domain to another, chances of interception of messages are reduced, and privacy is ensured.

At times, certain in-house messaging apps of companies contain certain data that is not suitable for external viewing. With an encrypted messaging app, this issue of privacy being compromised would be nullified.

You are quite aware of the importance of privacy in present times and with a secure messaging app you can be assured of its confidentiality.

3. How does this encryption work?

For the uninitiated, there is a specific way in regards to working of this encryption. The data that is transferred is both encrypted and decrypted by using a key that is known only to the communicating ends. The other involved parties are online provider, ISP, or data providers, who are not a part of this encryption.

Thus, with security of this mode, data is completely protected.

4. Why professionals are required?

Though there are a number of companies who are providing such services, however, professionals have their own platform that provides triple security layers in regards to this secure messaging app.

• Using the highest quality of protection format as ECC, they ensure that every detail is contained inside the app and there will be a secure connection prior to allowing anyone access to that app.

• Another important aspect regarding professionals is that they are well-trained and hence, features developed by them are of the highly secured.

• With professionals, there remain options for specifications as message self-destruction and creation of duress password.

5. What are to be checked before settling for a particular company?

Before making a choice, it is important that certain factors regarding a company be checked. Firstly, it should be checked as to how long the company has been in the market and what has been its experience in development of secure messaging app.
