All Secure Chorus member technologies use MIKEY-SAKKE. This has enabled Secure Chorus to define
with its members a range of interoperability standards that ensure members’ products can work with one
another and the systems implementing these technologies. The adoption of MIKEY-SAKKE and of
Secure Chorus’ interoperability standards by app developers, help them to develop products which meet
the GDPR compliance requirements of enterprise customers.


Mobile apps built with such standards would allow enterprise customers to maintain data encrypted
during any data processing undertaken by the app, as well as by other technologies the app may be
connected to. In addition, the enterprise costumer would be able to decrypt data in case of a lawful
interception request or a ‘Data Subject Access Request’ under the GDPR, by exporting a user-specific
and time-bound key from the KMS.


Following two years of collaborative work Secure Chorus, has recently announced the completion of its
first set of interoperability standards for encrypted voice calls. The completion of this first set of
interoperability standards for encrypted voice calls, specifically aimed at enterprise users has created a
much-needed breakthrough, setting a strong step ahead to develop interoperability standards for
developers of mobile communication apps.
