New VoIP solutions security software released

VoIP solutions have been boosted following the announcement that a Japanese firm has launched a new VoIP security package.

Ageet Corporation, a VoIP software company, has released the GuardVox Phone system for Windows which provides users with an extra level of security during VoIP calls.

The firm worked closely with the Telesecret Corporation, a company founded by communications security expert Phil Zimmermann, to create the encrypted voice and video communication software.

Users are required to complete a short authentication string before receiving a call to ensure that no one else is listening in.

This human element in the verification process is unique to Guard Vox Phone and provides customers with extra peace of mind while using IP telephony solutions.

Furthermore, the call's audio stream is encrypted using the strong Advanced Encryption Standard, while the complete package meets standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

GuardVox Phone will be available from June 15th for all Windows-based systems.
