ZEPHYR COVE, Nev., Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VirnetX
Holding Corporation (NYSE MKT: VHC), an Internet security software
and technology company, announced today that its Gabriel
Collaboration Suite, an integrated suite of secure communication
applications featuring: Secure Mail, Secure Messaging, Secure Voice
Call, Secure Video Call and Secure Share & Sync, is now
available on all major operating systems: iOS, Android, Windows,
Mac OS X and Linux.
The Gabriel app allows registered users fully encrypted
messaging, mail, voice and video calls and file sharing. The
Gabriel app is available for download at no charge for a limited
promotional special and will offer in-app purchase options. See

"We are very excited to be able to offer Gabriel on all the
major operating systems," said Dr. Robert Short, VirnetX Chief Technical Officer
and Chief Scientist. "Now just about anyone can use Gabriel to
protect their privacy by communicating securely. The Gabriel
app is available to download from our Gabriel website, the App
Store or Google Play™."
The Gabriel Collaboration Suite employs VirnetX's patented
Gabriel Secure Communications Platform technology to create
automatic secure and encrypted end-to-end communication links
between two devices to circumvent the threats of hacking and data
mining, and minimize the threats of man-in-the-middle attacks while
blocking out undesired peers from listening in. Gabriel
Collaboration Suite does not store any user emails, chat messages
or user data in a server farm, and any email or chat message sent
using Gabriel are encrypted from viewing by any third party or
government agency. Gabriel Collaboration Suite provides users with
a single, easy to use interface that remains consistent across all
users' devices.
About Gabriel
The Gabriel Collaboration Suite™ is built on top of
the Gabriel Secure Communication Platform™. This platform
implements VirnetX's patented Gabriel Connection
Technology™ to allow Internet devices to instantly and
securely connect and communicate with each other.
The underlying technology is a virtual encrypted secure
communications infrastructure that overlays the physical
infrastructure of the Internet. It consists of software and network
services that enable automatic initiation of peer-to-peer (P2P),
peer-to-server, and server-to-server encrypted communication links
between computers.
These encrypted links or channels can support multiple sessions,
protocols and services. The core of the service is a mechanism that
intercepts DNS traffic and determines whether the domain being
accessed is a secure domain protected by Gabriel.
The Gabriel software automatically performs cryptographic peer
authentication and security policy enforcement. Private keys never
leave the peer platforms, and public keys are certified by
VirnetX signed digital certificates.
Online presence of users and devices are discovered through
domain name lookups and automatic registering and querying of our
connection servers.
Network address translation (NAT) and firewall device traversal
are achieved by automatic discovery and negotiation of relay
services when required on a peer-to-peer connection basis. When
relay services are mandatory, peer-to-peer encryption is maintained
and the relay server receives and forwards encrypted data packets
to maintain end-to-end data encryption.
Current applications easily available through the Gabriel
interface are Secure Mail, Secure Messaging, Secure Voice Call,
Secure Video Call, Secure Share & Sync as well as Secure
Gateway Services to special private network services configured by
the user (e.g. web cameras, home security monitoring, etc.).
