Star2Star Strengthens Its VoIP Encryption


By Lavanya Rathnam, TMCnet Contributing Writer


Security is one of the challenges that come with VoIP, and this fear of eavesdropping has become profound after the recent NSA revelations. This is why VoIP service providers prefer to add some kind of a device or software that will protect users from unwanted eavesdropping. One such company that offers a VoIP encryption service is Star2Star Communications (News - Alert).


This company announced the availability of StarGuard Secure Voice, an optional service that can be added to any existing Star2Star communication system. This new service encrypts calls and messages at the telephone itself which means when the data enters the network, it is already encrypted. Such a mechanism reduces the possibility for data interception when the data packets are traveling through the network. This is an important security feature for VoIP because unlike traditional phones, IP data packets can be intercepted virtually anywhere on the network. With this new feature, it is almost impossible to intercept these data packets in the corporate network, backbone areas or by the Internet service provider – the most common places where interception happens.

The new StarGuard Secure Voice does not require any additional hardware for installation. It works with the existing software and is compatible with all Star2Star products. Also, StarGuard Secure Voice does not use any additional bandwidth either, so there is no worry about this product consuming the network resources. The best part is users can know that their call is encrypted when they see the padlock icon on their phone handset. When this icon is displayed, they can be assured that their calls are secure and private.

This new product from Star2Star is a good beginning in the field of VoIP security. It is hoped that many more such products come up in the future to alleviate the fear of call interception in the minds of the users.
