Babylon Mobile – Encryption for mobile phones

It is a common misbelieve that mobile communication can not be tapped because it is already encrypted. It is true that the communication signals are encrypted between the mobile phone and the GSM base station antenna mast, but this data stream nowadays can be decrypted with a common Personal Computer. Furthermore, the transmission between the sending antenna mast and the receiving antenna mast contains no encryption at all. Babylon Mobile was developed for those people who can be damaged by the tapping of mobile phones. Of course, you can try to avoid such communication to be held over a mobile phone, but this is approach is rather unrealistic in our fast moving mobile world. Typically, all the content of communication is being shared over mobile phones. Until today you either were vulnerable to tapping attacks or you would have been dependent on very expensive special encryption devices.

Babylon Mobile meets the most current state of the art technical abilities and is, therefore, the best possibility to secure your mobile communication against tapping attacks of third parties. The used encryption and key exchange algorithms are globally standardized and certified. They provide a reliable protection against all kind of different tapping scenarios. Babylon Mobile uses the save Diffie-Hellman 1024 Bit Standard of key-exchange and the AES-encryption with 256 Bit key length for the voice encryption. Babylon Mobile is a pure software solution and recommended for all users of Smartphones and Pocket PC’s like decision makers in large companies, auditors and tax consultants, medical doctors, journalists, Private investigators, governmental officials, police and military, as well as all people who feel that they would not like to share their personal life to anyone. Summarized Babylon Mobile is interesting for them who communicate mobile about confidential data. The common way to avert danger from your self is not to talk about critical themes via mobile phones. But this intent is not very topical in our mobile world of today.

As a pure software solution Babylon Mobile does not aim at expensive special units to be used (e.g. Mobile phones with additional components), but at a variety of market-known Smartphones.
