        Vadium Technology has released a software encryption application aimed at handhelds running Microsoft's Pocket PC 2003 operating system. According to Vadium, AlphaCipher Mobile is the second of several products in a planned suite of secure communication applications that will eventually include the ability to encrypt and decrypt streaming voice communications.



        Features of AlphaCipher Mobile are said to include:
        • Encryption using a digital One-Time Pad.
        • Encrypts / Decrypts text, files and folders on a Pocket PC PDA.
        • Encrypts / Decrypts text within Pocket Word Documents.
        • Ciphertext files are fully interoperable with AlphaCipher Desktop enabled PC
          workstations.
        • Encrypts Instant Text Messaging Sessions.
        • Allows for the destruction of Plaintext, Ciphertext, and Keying Material Using US DoD erasing protocols.
        Additionally, the company says it is developing a voice encryption module for AlphaCipher Mobile that will provide for the encryption and decryption of streaming voice communications on Pocket PC enabled mobile phones using the AlphaCipher Encryption System. This module will initially use an 802.11 wireless network for transmission of encrypted voice traffic. Over the next twelve months, Vadium expects to expand the voice transmission capabilities of its software to include the CDMA and GSM communication channels.
