Silent Circle

Silent Circle is a Washington, DC-based encrypted communications business. Silent Circle offers multi-platform encrypted communication services for mobile and desktop devices. The firm, which was founded on October 16, 2012, works on a subscription basis. The encryption component of the software utilized is peer-reviewed and free software/open source. The source code for the remaining components of Silent Phone and Silent Text is accessible on GitHub, but only under proprietary software licenses.

Silent Circle is a well-known provider of private communication software, including encrypted video and phone conversations, as well as encrypted, self-destructing chat and file transfers. Because encryption keys are owned by subscribers rather than Silent Circle, your encrypted communications may flow via Silent Circle's network, but the firm cannot access your data.

The disadvantage is the relatively expensive price. The Silent Circle app is free to download, but it won't operate unless you pay $9.95 every month. Silent Circle is designed for corporate users that want complete privacy while working. As a result, you're unlikely to come across many people who use it for personal contact.
