Government Industry

Government personnel like the general public have embraced the use of mobile phones. New expectations around citizen engagement and availability of enabling technology will afford government new or better ways to implement government policies, deliver outcomes and provide services to the citizens. Citizens interested could register their cell phones with government departments. Computer systems could be programmed using our SMS gateway to send out updated applicable text messages at relevant times. SMS, unlike emails affords real time engagement between governments and citizens.

Successful agencies will be those that take the opportunities to harness new ways of government service delivery while sustaining existing capabilities in a citizen-centric environment. This is especially true if the new ways will save money for example through increased digital self-service while at the same time providing greater efficiency of government service delivery and dissemination of information.

The mobile phone is the digital device of choice around the world. Governments around the world will increasingly take advantage of this to reach and possibly deliver services or information to the citizens. Even Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations involving bribery and price-fixing regularly have been known to run into text messaging. The popularity of the cell phone centers around the ease of use – it is small enough to carry around and it is capable of reaching any other person who has a cell phone. We expect that pretty soon there will be a proliferation of government apps. However, the use of SMS beyond simple alerts will hinge on the quality security and authentication of messages. Our Trusted Text system is ideal for governments. The sources are authenticated and the messages are encrypted, backed by a proven archiving system.

SMS use by government for one way alert may not need to be encrypted but the citizens need to know that the message is genuinely from an accepted government department. It would be embarrassing to any government if an individual is able to pretend to be a government department and start to dispatch SMS messages to the public as that department.

Kryptic Mobile Voice and SMS encryption services enable mobile data protection to mobile users of government agencies such as federal and regional IT departments, law enforcement organizations, defense and aerospace.

Kryptic Mobile delivers these capabilities:

  • Assessment of the data security needs and requirements elicitation.
  • Implementation and deployment of a high performance mobile encryption solution.
  • End User Training and dedicated technical support
