1. Introduction
PrivateGSM, within the Enterprise VoIP Security Suite guarantees phone conversation security and
privacy on mobile phones in a company network. The Demo version can be used to try how the UI
works and what is the software operating principle. Once installed on a phone, the demo is able to
encrypt all incoming and outgoing calls from/to other PrivateGSM users: thus, the software must be
installed on the caller and the called party’s phones.
To help you to build a contact network to make some tests, the Demo version has the “invite others”
function.
PrivateGSM uses VoIP technology (Voice over IP) and requires Internet access.
Before making a secure call, PrivateGSM checks the exchange keys, letting callers personally check call
security.

wizard will be launched
Note:
The “Invite others” option is available only for the Demo version, in order to allow users to build a contact
network to make secure calls.

18
8. Verifying call security
PrivateGSM Demo uses an encryption and security system based on ZRTP protocol. This protocol also
includes "human" verification of the two key exchanges displayed at the beginning of a call. Key
exchanges are made up of two words in English, randomly generated for each call. The key exchanges
displayed on the two phones must be verbally compared by the two callers to guarantee call security.
To verify call security:

Matching key
exchanges:
the call
is secure!

1. The caller reads
his key out loud
2. The called party
makes sure it matches his
Suggestion:
After making sure the key exchanges match and that the called party is the person you want to contact,
save the contact in the phone book as “trusted” by clicking Trust. This way, you need not verify the key
exchange whenever you call this contact (trusted) in the future. Key exchanges are no longer highlighted
in orange. Security is already guaranteed.
Thus, in normal conditions, subsequent communications with a "trusted" contact can start without the
need of verbal verification.
Keys are highlighted in orange and should only be verified in the event of wiretapping attempts or
changes to one of the two phones' configurations. In this case, the keys must be verbally verified or the
call immediately interrupted.

19
9. Identifying a wiretapping attempt
9.1. Attempt to wiretap a call to a "trusted" contact
If a third party attempts to wiretap a call to a previously verified contact saved as trusted, PrivateGSM
automatically detects the wiretapping attempt, interrupts the call and displays the following security alert.
Wiretapping attempt alert
After receiving a security alert, you must always verbally re-verify the key exchanges and re-save your
contact as trusted for future calls (see chapter 8 “Verifying call security”).
IMPORTANT
The security alert may even be displayed when there is no wiretapping attempt
but when your contact changes his phone number or phone. It may also be
displayed when the software is re-installed on one of your trusted contact's
phones. You must always re-verify contact security after a security alert.
!
9.2. Attempt to wiretap a call to a contact not yet saved as "trusted"
In the event a third party attempts to wiretap a call to a contact not yet saved as trusted, PrivateGSM
displays two different key exchanges on the two phones. The callers should verbally verify the differences
between the two key exchanges and interrupt the call.

2. The called party verifies
that keys do NOT match
and interrupts the call!

21
10. Checking the call in progress
During a secure call, PrivateGSM displays:
• key exchange status at the beginning of the call
• connection quality
10.1. Call status
To establish a connection, PrivateGSM completes three phases; an icon shows on the screen the call
status:
Exchanging ZRTP keys
10.1.1. Call status icons

1. Select Options 2. Select Exit

28
13. What you should know before you use PrivateGSM
13.1. Standard call priority (voice)
If the user receives a standard call (voice) during a secure call (VoIP), the following may occur:
1. The user accepts the voice call: since this channel takes priority over VoIP, the secure call is
automatically interrupted.
2. The user refuses the voice call: the VoIP call remains connected and the user can continue the
secure conversation.
13.2. When doesn't PrivateGSM protect your data
PrivateGSM cannot protect your conversations in the following cases:
1. Wiretapping by bugs placed in your home, office or car.
2. Wiretapping by long distance directional microphones.
PrivateGSM cannot protect you from the following geographic tracking systems:
1. GSM mobile phone locators
2. GPS locators
Note:
We suggest you consult security experts to protect yourself against these types of devices.
13.3. Call quality when moving
It may take longer to establish a connection or experience short audio interruptions when travelling by car
or high speed train. This is because you are switching from one GSM network radio cell to another. Call
quality depends on the local infrastructures the phone operator uses.
For example, in the suburbs, the GSM network is made up of less cells but with higher coverage;
switching from one cell to another is less frequent (i.e.: highway). Contrarily, in metropolitan areas, the

29
GSM network is made up of more cells but with lower coverage; switching from one cell to another is
more frequent (i.e.: expressways and ring roads).
Note:
No perceivable vocal defects were demonstrated in tests conducted at 150 km/h with PrivateGSM.
13.4. Networks and call quality
Secure calls with PrivateGSM use VoIP technology that exploits an Internet connection to make a call via
TCP/IP and UDP packet exchange. Thus, data packets containing voice, encoded and encrypted
information are routed on the network during a call.
PrivateGSM secure calls thus require an open Internet connection without any firewall or restriction by the
caller or called party.
Mobile phone operators typically offer two types of Internet access with two different Access Points:
• Full Internet access: supports all transmission protocols. Required by PrivateGSM.
• WAP/MMS access: does not allow PrivateGSM to work.
Following is a list of network types, ordered by quality, band width1
and latency2
:
Technology Wi-Fi HSD PA UMTS EDGE GPRS Satellite
Quality Best Worst
1
Band width determines the amount of data transmitted per second.
2
Latency determines the time required for data to reach its destination.

30
Note:
To check your mobile phone network, check the symbol next to the signal bar:
3.5G network (HSDPA)
Suggestion:
Use Wi-Fi when available. There are no additional access costs and call quality is definitely better. For
further information, see chapter 12.1 “Changing the Access Point”.
13.5. Rates
PrivateGSM secure calls use an Internet connection thus data traffic is charged. Costs depend on the rate
set with your phone service provider.
To receive secure calls, PrivateGSM must keep an Internet connection open. You should, therefore,
choose a rate that lets you stay online as long as you need to receive and make secure calls (i.e.: 24/7,
or business hours).
Note:
We suggest you consult your operator to set a flat rate tied to your connection needs.
Note:
When using PrivateGSM abroad, make sure you have a data traffic rate plan that lets you check costs.

31
13.5.1. Limited traffic rate plan disadvantages
Data limited traffic rate plan You pay according to data traffic when online. On average,
PrivateGSM exchanges data packets for a total of 2MB a
month. This is calculated considering average band width
between 100k/minute and 200k/minute. Thus 1MB of Internet
traffic equals a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 10
minutes.
Time limited rate plan You pay according to connection time. These planes are
unfavorable and not recommended for PrivateGSM use.
13.6. Differences between secure and standard calls
Delays in establishing a connection To establish a connection with the called party, PrivateGSM
needs from 5 to 60 seconds based on the caller and called
party's Internet connection qualities.
Voice delay Unlike standard calls, VoIP secure calls may be subject to voice
delays from 1/5 of a second to a maximum of two seconds.
This depends on the technology adopted by the data
transmission network. The better the connection, the shorter
the voice delay.
Different ring tone PrivateGSM secure calls use different ring tone than standard
calls (not customizable).
Battery charge Internet connection may lower your phone's battery life.
Average mobile phone battery consumption may increase from
a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 35% based on the type of
network used by the Internet connection.
Note:
A Wi-Fi network consumes more than a 3G network. A 3G
network consumes more than a 2G network.

32
14. User license and license code
PrivateGSM Demo can work in two different modes:
• Full: you can both make and receive secure calls in this mode.
• Receive Only: you can only receive secure calls in this mode.
Upon first installation, PrivateGSM is set to Full mode for a 15-day trial period. At the end of the trial
period, the software automatically switches to Receive Only.
Note:
In a contact network, you only need one contact with a Full license. Other PrivateGSM users can have
Receive Only modes. To expand the contact network, invite contacts using the specific PrivateGSM
function (see chapter 7 “Inviting a contact to use PrivateGSM Demo”). Each contact must have a mobile
phone model compatible with the software.
14.1. License code – status icon
License status is shown by the license icon that appears in PrivateGSM menu:
Trial period Full mode
Receive Only mode
Waiting for server response after
license code registration.

33
1. User license expired: you are asked to enter
a new license code.
14.2. Receive Only mode
Receive Only mode starts when the trial license expires. It lets you continue to receive secure calls for as
long as the software is installed on your phone.
14.3. Checking your user license
To check your current user license:
1. Select License 2. Check your user license

34
15. Most frequent VoIP network problems
15.1. PrivateGSM does not connect and does not let me make calls
Problem
PrivateGSM does not correctly go online and generates an error during registration/connection.
• Diagnostics
The access point in use is incorrect and/or PrivateGSM is connected to a network that is not
correctly set.
Possible solution
- Check whether the phone can access the Internet, opening any web page.
- Check whether the access point in use is a full Internet connection and not a WAP or MMS
connection. You can only use PrivateGSM with a full Internet connection.
- Check whether the Wi-Fi network you're connected to supports TCP/IP and UDP protocols.
Internet connections with proxy servers do not work with PrivateGSM and firewalls need to
be opened to allow internal networks to work with a proxy server.
- Check whether your SIM card balance (top-up) is sufficient.
- Check whether Internet connections are enabled on the SIM card. Some phone operators
require you set a specific rate plane for Internet access which must be requested by the user
and confirmed by the operator.
15.2. The call interrupts with a failed connection error
Problem
PrivateGSM is correctly online and lets you make/receive a secure call but the call never gets past the
Exchanging keys phase (yellow light). PrivateGSM interrupts the call with a failed connection error and
you cannot hear the called party.
• Diagnostics
The access point in use is incorrect and/or PrivateGSM is connected to a network that is not
correctly set.

35
Possible solution
- Check whether the phone can access the Internet, opening any web page.
- Check whether the access point in use is a full Internet connection and not a WAP or
MMS connection. You can only use PrivateGSM with a full Internet connection.
- Make sure the firewall allows UDP protocol output.
- Change access point.
15.3. Only one caller can hear the other (one-way)
Problem
PrivateGSM is correctly online and lets you make/receive a secure call.
It reaches the Secure call established (green light) status, exchanging keys, but only one caller can hear
the other.
• Diagnostics
The caller's PrivateGSM has audio problems, due to incorrect settings. For example, it is using a
WAP access point and not a full Internet access point or a network with incorrect settings.
Possible solution
- Check whether the access point in use is a full Internet connection and not a WAP or MMS
connection. You can only use PrivateGSM with a full Internet connection.
15.4. Dialing takes one or more minutes
Problem
PrivateGSM makes/receives a secure call but remains in the Starting a connection phase (red light) for
one or more minutes, hanging up with a failed connection message. Re-dialing, the call sometimes goes
through.

36
• Diagnostics
PrivateGSM uses the Internet via a radio frequency range provided by the operator or Wi-Fi
connection in use. Radio frequencies are subject to data packet loss in certain environmental
conditions such as if you are close to a large wall, a repeater or in the event of network overload,
for example, during a public event.
During a voice call, a minimum level of data packet loss is negligible for voice quality but may be
a determinant factor for that part of the signal dedicated to the phone system (i.e.: SIP/TLS
protocols used to make a call, receive a call, end a call, and so on). Data transmission may thus be
difficult during the start/end call phase even if the phone displays a good signal level.
Possible solution
- Check whether the two callers are surrounded by radio disturbances.
- If using PrivateGSM in a crowded place, decide whether you should switch from the UMTS
network to the GSM network. In fact, a UMTS network that works at 2,100 MHz is more
crowded than a GSM network that works at 900/1,800 MHz.
15.5. Frequent audio interferences
Problem
PrivateGSM calls are subject to frequent audio interruptions or interferences and the conversation is
difficult.
• Diagnostics
Internet connections are often overloaded and mobile phone operators do not have enough
bandwidth. In these cases, establishing a connection may be difficult or impossible or, once
established, audio may be suddenly interrupted and similar problems occur.
Possible solution
- Make sure the network is actually overloaded: open a web page (N.B.: pick a web page you
do not frequently open). A page that does not load or loads slowly, timing out, indicates that
the network is overloaded and cannot be used for secure calls.

16. Functional notes
16.1. Incompatibility with other installed applications
PrivateGSM uses APS (Audio Proxy Server) and VAS (VoIP Audio Service) which, if installed on your phone
since used by other applications (i.e.: Fring, instant message software), may interfere with correct software
operations. In this case, uninstall the other applications and re-install PrivateGSM.
