- Advance ciphering key exchange with ZRTP, including Elliptic Curves Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) X25519 and X448

“The key differentiator for Typhos is that all communications are encrypted, all-the-time, whether the data is at rest, in transition, or in motion. Typhos strikes a delicate balance between convenience and security; however, our predominant focus continues to be on keeping data safe and secure. Our focus is not to compete with other popular messaging apps available today. Our goal is to provide the same features with uncompromised security where the user’s data is never used as a means of monetization. Unlike other popular messaging/communications apps, the user and their data are not the product–the security and complete privacy of the user’s data is our product,” said Dr. Milton Mattox, CTO, Castle Shield.
Typhos is available today through the Apple Store and Google Play.
