Gold Lock Enterprise VS Skype
Skype uses SSL which uses electronic certificates and 128 bit encryption (standard for credit card transactions online also) This level of encryption is NOT appropriate for even top secret level communications. How many times have credit card numbers been stolen online?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security
128-bit 2^128 2 multiplied by 2 128 times over. = 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (give or take a couple trillion…).
Gold Lock Enterprise uses 4 different encryption methods. One of which is 16,384 Bit Authentication. That is 2 multiplied by 2, 16,384 times over (not just 128 times). This method IS appropriate for top secret level communications. Enterprise uses 16,384 Bit Authentication Elliptic Curve 384 Bits (RSA 7680 Bits Equivalent) AES 256 Bits Diffie Hellman 4096 Bits
AES – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard Top Secret appropriate
RSA – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA Top Secret appropriate
Diffie Hellman – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman_key_exchange Top Secret appropriate
In addition to this technical “stuff” the facts remain that Skype provides a key to governments for lawful interception (which means all the security in the world in now a mute point) and Skypes 128 bit encryption has been broken, and hackers now easily intercept their calls.

As you can see Enterprise has significantly higher encryption capabilities than Skype. Skype encrypts just enough to satisfy their customers. Gold Lock takes pride in having the best and highest encryption software on the market. Gold Lock Enterprise is a military grade encryption software. No military uses Skype to relay orders or pass top secret information.

Demos to show spying on mobile IP calls

This screen shot shows the user interface of UCSniff. The user can listen in on a conversation and see the video of two people talking on an IP-based video phone. The two video screens show what each of the video phones is displaying.

Hotspot sniffer eavesdrops on iPhone in real-time
…
“As the private call is in progress, we can see and hear what is happening,” said Jason Ostrom, a developer of UCSniff and director of Viper Labs, the research arm of security firm Sipera Systems. “There’s real-time violation of confidentiality.”
In addition to monitoring voice conversations as they happen, UCSniff can also bug video conferences in real time. Ostrom said he and fellow Viper Labs researcher Arjun Sambamoorthy plan to show those capabilities at Toorcon as well.
With the proliferation of iPhones and other smartphones, plenty of businesses and individuals have sought to save money on roaming charges by routing calls over the internet instead of over carrier networks. Adam Boone, a vice president at Sipera, said one large, unnamed client logs more than 1 million minutes per month in such VoIP calls.
The problem, he added, is that many of the iPhone apps for VoIP calls don’t provide encryption capabilities, making the conversations ripe for eavesdropping. (Sipera plans to unveil a new product to protect such users next week).

Common VoIP Protocols Defeated

Recent reports have surfaced that have revealed weaknesses in the ever-popular Google Voice and Skype protocols. These weaknesses have allowed attackers to eavesdrop on third party calls and make unauthorized calls using another person’s account.
Such a vulnerability in a service as popular as this is highly concerning, but the attacks have been proven to work according to many different sources, and also the Slashdot website. It would seem that we are now looking at two protocols, which remained secure for a long time, which now have a major vulnerability that calls into question the whole security of the architecture.
Any organization that is reliant on Google voice or Skype should now be asking themselves the question: “is it really safe for my company”? Even though according to both companies, the vulnerabilities have been fixes the truth is once a major weakness is exposed it can be very hard to trust it again.
Certainly, the fact that these technologies have been breached must be a concern for both organizations and individuals that are dependent on secure calls. However, what alternatives are available and how do people utilize them?
One can avoid the dangers of integrating non secure solutions from Skype, Google Voice, or other non secure VOIP systems into organizations infrastructure and instead utilize technologies, which are tested, and proven more secure.

Skype tapping program code released

A software developer who designed a way to tap and record calls made on Skype and other VoIP networks has made the source code of the spying program public, a move he said will allow other programmers to build workarounds to the potential threat. The programmer, Ruben Unteregger, was tasked by his former company ERA IT Solutions to write a Trojan horse program that could tap VoIP calls for the Swiss government.
Apparently, the program bypassed Skype’s heralded encryption process, one that has vexed security officials in Europe multiple times.
In a translated interview, Untregger discussed his rationale for releasing the code.
“The code will be published, it will get analyzed as soon as the binaries got uploaded, signature patterns will be created by anti-virus companies, the malware will be detected, blocked and deleted, if it tries to infect a system,” Untregger said.
Untregger’s motives appear to be genuinely in the interest of private citizens and enterprises that use VoIP services like Skype, as the publicizing of the code makes its use by security agencies redundant, according to a Computer World report. However, making this code available could have negative repercussions if hackers can use it to build even more powerful tapping programs. Other instances of Skype hacking, such as China’s purported monitoring of dissident communication via VoIP programs, gives one pause when considering the public availability of such information.

Cops’ wiretap tech frayed
CALGARY — Alberta’s top cop says antiquated wiretap technology in the modern-day crime-fighting realm is hampering police investigations.
Western provincial solicitor generals and justice ministers recently met in Saskatoon and joined forces to pressure the feds to bolster laws to remove technological barriers which often give organized criminals an upper hand.
“The technological infrastructure is there, it is just a matter of getting the legislation in place — we believe we can be more effective,” Alberta Solicitor General Fred Lindsay told Sun Media.
“If (criminals) have a communication device and we can’t wiretap, it puts us at a disadvantage.”
Among a list of demands by the ministers is upgrading Criminal Code lawful access provisions to improve police access to information, be it on computer or cellphone — technology which post-dates the creation of current laws.
One recurrent issue is an inability for police to quickly and adequately investigate criminals by tapping into their use of cellphones.
As it is, criminals can buy prepaid, non-traceable cellphones to use in drug deals or other nefarious activities and register them under any name they want, leaving no identifiers which could help police investigations.
There is also no legislation to deal with encryption technology on cellphones.
