BABEL is a CROSS-PLATFORM messaging app which allows you to use your iPhone and OTHER SMARTPHONE DEVICES to exchange encrypted text messages (SMS) or iMessages with other BABEL users. It offers the highest level of security in case of breach or eavesdropping and is designed to keep messages encrypted not only during transmissions, but also in the device memory.

BE SECURE. REMAIN PRIVATE. KEEP THEM CONFUSED.

**** WHY USE BABEL: ****

• CROSS-PLATFORM: Unlike some other message encryption apps, you can use BABEL to exchange messages with users on other platforms

• PRIVATE: Thanks to End-to-End encryption, no third party or central server is involved in transmissions – you don’t need to trust anyone but your counterpart (contact).

• SECURE: NSA-grade encryption powers (approved by the NSA). Besides message encryption over the air, they are encrypted also in the device itself, in case your iPhone is lost or stolen - your messages and privacy remains safe and untouched.

• ENCRYPTED: BABEL uses proven and standard algorithms for strong cryptography - AES for end-to-end message encryption and Diffie-Hellman for cryptographic keys agreement

• SIMPLE: No data connection is required, BABEL uses standard messaging service (SMS). Optional use of iMessages.

• EASY: Easy to use and intuitive user interface – once keys between you and your contact are exchanged, you are able to instantly send and receive encrypted messages (takes about a minute to get started)

**** TECHNICAL DETAILS: ****

• No data connection is required, encrypted messages are sent through standard SMS (text service). If the data connection is available, iMessages are used automatically.

• Diffie-Hellman algorithm is used for the initial key exchange between the two parties.

• Outgoing messages are encrypted using AES symmetric cipher.

• Each message is encrypted with a different random key.

• E2EE message encryption - end-to-end encryption - data encoding it at its starting point and decoding it at its destination.

• BABEL works on all iPhone devices running iOS 6 or higher (iPhone 3GS and later).

Messages are encrypted not only during transmission but also in the phone memory. Secret keys are never sent from the device in plain text, which means that all communication, including key agreement, can be intercepted without any fear or risk of potential decryption. BABEL users don't have to remember any new one-time-passwords, keys, or buy and use digital certificates. BABEL is simple, intuitive and uses a standard iOS service for Contacts and Messages.
