TUSTIN, Calif., July 19th, 2011 – Today GOTrust Technology Inc. announced a complete family of affordable, internationally certified, Military Strength, Voice and SMS Hardware Encryption Scramblers for Android Smartphones and tablet PCs, as well as Windows Notebooks. The Scrambler processor is the shape of a microSD module and plugs directly into existing Smartphones (not special phones, the phones need no modification) or Windows PCs. The powerful processor encrypts voice, SMS texts, address books, instant messaging, call history and data; providing unmatched mobile user privacy and completely preventing snooping, Trojan and hacking attacks. Because all the communication is encrypted and decrypted inside the microSD scrambler and nothing is processed inside the phone, Users are safe from Hackers, Corporate Spies and unscrupulous Private Detectives.

KingCall-Android: Voice scrambling between private groups of Android Smartphone and Tablet PC Users for less than $38 per user-month. Groups can be as small as two people or communities of many thousands. Ideal for high profile personalities, boards of directors, road warriors or everybody in a company or organization. It is easy to use; just insert the microSD scrambler, install the KingCall application (it is stored on the Scrambler) and you are ready to talk securely. The address book, call and instant messaging history are encrypted and stored inside the microSD scrambler, they cannot be reviewed without your PIN even if the phone or microSD scrambler is stolen or confiscated. (Five invalid PIN attempts and all the scrambler’s information is locked forever). KingCall-Android includes the functionality of KingCall-PC at no extra charge so use it on your mobile when away and on your PC when back at base. Change phones and the microSD scrambler can be moved, by the user, to the new phone (complete with address book, call history etc.)

KingCall-PC: Voice scrambling between private groups of Windows Notebook or Desktop Users for less than $21 per user-month. Users can also communicate with Android Smartphone and Tablet PC Users so KingCall-Android and KingCall-PC users can be in the same private group. Security levels and information protection features are the same as for KingCall-Android.

KingText-SMS: Text scrambling between private groups of Android Smartphone and Tablet PC Users for a onetime charge of $99.  The secure address book, stored messages (sent and received) and personal confidential data are encrypted and stored inside the microSD scrambler; they cannot be reviewed without your PIN even if the phone or microSD scrambler is stolen or confiscated. (Same five PIN attempt rule applies).

All three products are available for immediate shipment. Go-Trust is looking for additional distributors to help handle the escalating demand for the KingCall and KingText products.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 8th, 2011 - GOTrust Technology Inc. (GO-Trust) today announced that the company will start delivering its microSD HSM on February 14, the opening day of the RSA Security Conference and Expo. This hardware-based authentication and encryption/decryption solution will integrate with existing VPN clients on tablet PCs and smart phones. The microSD HSM is a 32-bit, Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified crypto processor embedded inside a microSD memory module that includes up to 8 GB of flash memory. All the authentication, encryption and decryption to establish the secure tunnel is completed inside the microSD. High assurance protection is also provided for keys and sensitive data which are encrypted and stored inside the chip.

Most current mobile VPN clients are software based. The authentication, encryption/decryption and key exchange processing take place on the mobile device, in the open making the communication network vulnerable to attacks. It has long been recognized as an issue by many corporations that require hardware-based security for internet communication between the company’s servers and their mobile staff. A USB dongle, jutting out of the side or back of PC notebooks, had been acceptable, primarily with hardware based authentication, but this type of solution is unlikely to be tolerated by the next generation of users with smaller, slimmer and more stylish tablet PCs and Smart Phones. Security also comes into question with the increasingly compromised world of internet connectivity.

To accommodate the new and increasingly popular mobile devices being used by executives and staff, many companies are now integrating hardware secure authentication and internet communication to their corporate applications and data banks. “We have the solution for the moment and into the future,” said Darren Lee, CEO of GO-Trust, “Our Hardware Security Module built into a microSD module is the perfect solution. It provides the highest level of security, inside a crypto processor, for the anticipated landslide of tablet PCs and smart phones that will be used for sensitive business applications. It can also been used on PC notebooks making them completely hardware secure and dongle-free.”

All the encryption and decryption, including key exchange, is done inside the crypto processor so it does not impact the performance of the tablet or smart phone. This provides much faster VPN communication than was previously possible when the processing was done inside the mobile device. The easy to use API interface for integration will have PKSC#11 and CSP interfaces added in April. These interfaces will support most existing VPN Clients. The majority of the PKCS#11 crypto mechanisms are implemented inside the chip, not in middleware, making the solution even more secure. The interface library is available for Windows (PCs & Notebooks), Windows Mobile (Smart Phones), Android (Smart Phones and Tablet PCs) and Linux (PCs and other portable devices). The GO-Trust microSD HSM is available for immediate delivery.
