More About Circles - Encrypted E2E VOIP +
The application is designed to ensure security compliance for Voice and Video over IP (VOIP) by adhering to the NIST SP800-56 rev3 C(2e,2s) and HKDF (RFC5869) standards. It employs robust encryption protocols including AES128, HMAC256, ECDH128, and ECDSA256. These measures are crucial for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of communication over the internet and Bluetooth, providing users with peace of mind when engaging in private conversations.
Users can enhance their contact management through the app by sharing public keys, allowing for a secure connection with others. This capability not only facilitates the addition of contacts but also establishes a trust environment where users can cryptographically verify that they share access to the same social groups or 'Circles'. Each Circle’s owner has the authority to distribute cryptographic vouchers to the members, enhancing the interaction within these groups.
When creating a Circle, the owner has specific options regarding membership control and communication privileges within the group. The owner can choose whether they alone can add new members or if any member can do so. Additionally, they can decide if only they can send messages, images, or classifieds, or if all members should have that capability. This flexibility allows for customization of each Circle based on the owner's preferences for privacy and interaction.
The app also features a badging functionality that helps facilitate entry into events and access to services using the provided vouchers. Circles are synchronized across devices through iCloud, enabling users to seamlessly continue discussions started on one device on another. With End-to-End encryption, all stored communications, including messages, images, and GPS data, are kept secure on servers, reducing local storage demand and ensuring easy access across devices. This comprehensive approach to security and convenience positions the app as a powerful tool for managing private communications and group interactions.
