A PrivateWave phone call is always encrypted. The protocol provides verbal verification of two keywords displayed at the beginning of the conversation.

If both parties see the same keywords, then the call is secured. The keywords change with each call. If the keywords are not the same between caller and callee hang up the call immediately because this may be a sign of a security attack:
