Zfone Project - Encrypted VOIP

Zfone is a new secure VoIP phone software product which lets you make encrypted phone calls over the Internet. Its principal designer is Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP, the most widely used email encryption software in the world. Zfone uses a new protocol called ZRTP, which has a better architecture than the other approaches to secure VoIP.

  • Protects against man-in-the-middle attack without reliance on any PKI or certificate authority
  • Key management doesn't depend on, or even care, what signaling protocol is used-- SIP, H.323, etc.
  • Key negotiations are purely peer-to-peer through RTP media stream
  • Interoperates with any SIP/RTP phone, autodetects if encryption is supported by other endpoint
  • Available as a "plugin" for existing soft VoIP clients, effectively converting them into secure phones.
  • Available as an SDK for developers to integrate into their VoIP applications
  • Submitted to IETF as a proposal for a public standard, and source code is published
