Modern cryptographic solutions providing 128-bit level of protection are used: Triple Diffie-Hellman key agreement on elliptic curve 25519 and SHA3 Keccak 1600/576 Sponge Duplexing symmetric encryption, hashing, MAC, SPRNG. Each call is supported by PSF for encryption and hidden identification, key agreement is resistant to UKS and KCI attacks.Primary via shared password and secret fingerprint comparison as well as hidden coercion notification. Devices are paired during the first “guest” call, and certificates for each contact are entered into the address book. Voice is compressed with an efficient and reliable MELPE codec , which requires an exchange rate of 1200 bps and allows a BER of up to several percentage points. Stream encryption is performed in CTR mode with 67.5 mS blocks (voice frames) and is resistant to error propagation. The voice detector allows voice pauses to be used to restore synchronization losses after a temporary loss of communication. A special feature of the design is a specially developed pseudo-vocal modem with low carrier distortion in tandem GSM FR codecs during a GSM voice call. The modem provides a data rate of 1200 bps with less than 1 percent bit error and fast on-the-fly synchronization in less than 200 ms throughput.
