Are your communications private? Are they secure? Unless you encrypt them, the answer is no. All messages you send over the Internet pass through various servers before reaching their final destination. They could be intercepted and read at any point. For that reason, you need encryption to guarantee your communication privacy and security.
Octalas Secure believes that a backdoor for one is a backdoor for all. Unlike some providers, Octalas Secure does not create intentional flaws in its cryptosystem to bypass encryption.
We encrypt all data on the user’s side with a key that only the user has. Moreover, our decentralized network is designed around the concept of zero-knowledge, and no sensitive data is stored outside the communication devices.
The process of encrypting your communications starts even before you send your first message with the generation of a cryptographic key or key pair. No matter the communication channel you’ve chosen -chat, call, email- encryption keys are generated on the device, and private keys are never stored outside it.
When you type in your message and press the send button, your message is instantly encrypted with the device-generated encryption keys. Our products are secured by open-source encryption protocols, which have been vetted numerous times and have never been compromised.
Once your message is encrypted and on its way to the recipient, a secure key exchange occurs. Our products rely on the proven Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, a method for securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public communications channel.
This is an additional step available in peer-to-peer chats and voice calls, designed to detect and counter man in the middle (MITM) attacks. It involves the two communicating parties sharing a common secret, thus verifying their identities and the security of the communication channel.
TLS encrypted network
Your messages travel through our decentralized secure communication network in an encrypted form. The connection between different Encrypted Communication Nodes (ECNs) is secured using the TLS 1.2 protocol with certificates issued by Comodo Ca Ltd.
Secure device storage
True security calls for encrypting not just your channels of communication but your device as well. Encrypting your storage guarantees your data is secure even if you lose your phone or someone steals it. This is why we made storage encryption and triple password protection integral and mandatory features of all our devices.
Octalas Secure OS is a completely de-Googled Android Operating System. It relies on open-source technology to deliver necessary mobile microservices such as location, push notifications, time, app updates, and others.
