Ciphr launches a free secure communication app to integrate with existing services

Ciphr Lite allows users to own, control and grant access to their data. Using world-leading security, the Ciphr platform offers a truly user-controlled messaging app.

CALGARY, AB, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ciphr has launched the latest app in its suite of world-leading encrypted software. Ciphr Lite allows users to experience group chats, voice calls and voice notes protected by Post-Quantum encryption and Ciphr Lite's other unique security-first features all for free. Access to the Ciphr platform gives users the ability to communicate using the latest protocols for secure communication.

Ciphr Lite deploys end-to-end encryption to ensure only the intended recipients can read messages and join calls. Ciphr's platform is built using the most secure multi-layered encryption and security-first features to provide the best protection possible, including ensuring Ciphr does not store or have access to encrypted communication data. Ciphr does not require a phone number or email for registration and employs user-controlled keys. These private encryption keys are generated and stored locally on the device hosting the Ciphr app, which safeguards against backdoor access to a server and data. The platform also employs perfect forward secrecy, securing each message and call with a unique encryption key for a deeper protection level in every conversation.

Ciphr Lite's features include:

• Anonymous Ciphr ID – Ciphr accounts never require an email or phone number to register, and Ciphr IDs (used to add a contact) are randomly generated for extra privacy.
• Password protection – The Ciphr Lite app is password locked even when your device is unlocked for enhanced privacy and security for your communications.
• Encrypted voice calls – Make encrypted voice calls up to five minutes long. Ciphr Lite voice calls are peer-to-peer, meaning servers never have access to your call data.
• Encrypted voice notes – Send encrypted voice notes up to 15 seconds in length to bring conversations to life.
• Self-destructing messages – Messages self-destruct after a pre-set period for added privacy and to ensure data is not stored longer than necessary on your device.
• Redact sent messages – Stay in control of messages even after they've been sent with the ability to delete previously sent messages.
• Post-Quantum protection – Ciphr Lite uses Post-Quantum encryption to further secure Elliptic Curve key exchanges. This cutting-edge technology provides an extra layer of security beyond any modern standards.
