Dynamic Encryption Provider Dencrypt to Exhibit at Future Forces 2024

11-10-2024

Industrial espionage has become an increasing problem in the business world, prompting companies to think about who might be eavesdropping on phone calls or reading messages. The Danish software company, Dencrypt, has developed a solution based on Dynamic Encryption that ensures secure use of smartphones and computers for daily communication in business and defence- and government organizations. Dencrypt will be present at the Danish Pavilion during Future Forces Forum (Hall 2, Stand 243).

Eavesdropping on smartphones and the unwanted sharing of messages is more widespread than many companies and organizations realize. The Danish national IT security authority, Center for Cybersecurity (CFCS) assesses in their latest report that the threat from cyber espionage, cybercrime, and cyber activism is very high in Denmark and in many European countries. One reason Denmark, and other EU countries are in the high-risk zone is their involvement in the war in Ukraine.

"In recent years, there has been significant focus on hackers, ransomware, etc., but the threat from cyber espionage has unfortunately been somewhat overlooked by many companies and organizations. Cyber espionage has steadily increased and is becoming a growing challenge for businesses and organizations, who risk hackers stealing valuable data," explains Michael Appelby, Sales Director at Dencrypt.

The Danish company, Dencrypt, develops secure communication solutions for both the Danish defence and government as well as international businesses and organizations. Dencrypt’s solution has been certified for classified (Restricted) communication and is used by, among others, defence, police and NATO to securely communicate business-critical and sensitive information.

Secure Communication Based on Dynamic Encryption

The solution is an app based on so-called Dynamic Encryption. The app adds an extra layer of encryption, making it impossible for hackers to break through. With Dynamic Encryption, the algorithm changes every time a new conversation or message begins. When two users communicate through the Dencrypt Connex app, the conversation happens through a regular data connection where the call is encrypted. The content is only decrypted once it reaches the recipient. The same applies when users send messages, files, documents, photos, share location etc., to each other. Dynamic Encryption, a patented method, was developed at DTU, and Dencrypt holds exclusive rights to use the invention.

"The app makes it easy for organizations to implement secure communication because it's simple to use on the phones and computers that employees already use. Employees can make calls, send files, messages, and communicate exactly as they normally would. As something entirely new, we've developed features that makes it easier for the administrators of the solution to log data so for example, message communication can be stored securely for later audit- and documentation purposes," explains Michael Appelby.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Free Messinger Services Pose a Security Risk

The COVID-19 pandemic saw many people begin to work from home — a working style that has continued but not without security risks.

"Many of the free services that some companies use for calls, messages, etc., do not protect company data. When providers claim to use end-to-end encryption, it's often not documented or not described in sufficient detail. Therefore, free services are not a suitable choice for professional communication," says Michael Appelby.

Dencrypt’s security solution uses end-to-end encryption and is a closed communication system that can be used on iPhones, Android smartphones, PCs, and Macs. Dencrypt offers their solution as a Cloud service or an Enterprise self-hosted version.

The Quantum Threat to Encryption is real!

Quantum computers, with their potential to break encryption methods widely used today, pose a significant threat to global data- and communication security.

To counter this threat, Dencrypt is taking proactive steps. In collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Danish Defence, Dencrypt is developing quantum-safe encryption methods using their Dynamic Encryption technology.

"In a research collaboration with DTU, we have worked on developing an encryption technology that can counter the looming threat from quantum computers. We are already in the process of implementing parts of it in our solution so that we are always ahead of the threats," says Michael Appelby.
