Traditional approaches to cyber security possess fundamental weaknesses rooted in their inherent complexity (millions of lines of code), necessity to trust multiple actors, and concentration in attractive points of attack. As the number of bugs per lines of code is relatively constant, the complexity assures a constant flow of zero-day exploits. Likewise, operating system vendors, silicon OEMs, backend server operators, and thousands of personnel across vendor organizations need to be vetted. Ubiquitous concentration points (servers) present honeypots that attract attackers. While compliance is achieved, rarely is the actual security.

To address these issues we present new paradigm based on simplicity and distribution, as the way to mitigate zero days, reduce trust requirements and dramatically lower the attack surface. We introduce minimalistic and distributed server-less security implementations, starting with end-to-end secured voice communications over any existing voice infrastructure, achieving a drop-in operational security with zero integration effort.

Verirand Inc. creates devices that transparently interface the networked world providing personal layer of privacy. The first product is Code Talker, a device for end-to-end secure voice. Video is the next one.

Code Talker provides end-to-end voice privacy over any existing voice channel (cell phones, radios, landlines, Skype, etc.) It appears as a regular Bluetooth headset to the host equipment, which is neither involved in nor aware of the security feature: the security mechanism is entirely encapsulated within the sealed device itself, with near-zero attack surface.
