SwissSecurium™ is a modern, secure messenger with a function of audio and video calls. You can create multi-user chats in our messenger and transfer files through a safe cloud CloudSecurium™. You can also connect several of your SwissSecurium™ accounts to one application at a time. And you can invite external users through the app to take part in a secure chat.
SWISS SECURIUM® was originally designed as a platform for secure data exchange, so the interaction between all its services and applications passes over secure SSL/TLS protocols.
All data and user application files are stored in an encrypted form, both on users' devices and on servers. Decryption of the data is impossible without the participation of the user who owns the keys.
SwissSecurium™ also uses the OTR protocol the interlocutor verification and establishing end-to-end encryption of conversation. Voice and video calls are protected by WebRTC technology.
Our servers, on which the platform information is stored, are located in a highly protected data centre, that provides maximum physical protection of the data.

SWISS SECURIUM® provides strong protection of your data on your device with encryption (and Security code or Fingerprint are used for encryption key generation). If a hacker gets your device, encryption will make it impossible to access the SWISS SECURIUM® messenger data. That’s why you should enable Security code / Fingerprint authentication and use it for encryption of the application data base (you can enable both methods).
