Our company name - which refers to a logic gate used in the algorithm that encrypts your speech and text - came to us in a eureka moment, after hours of brainstorming and research. In encryption algorithm, X-OR is used to add randomness into data, making it more haphazard and cluttered, so it cannot be interpreted without knowing the secret key.
The XOR logo - the shield knot - is also a nod to our emphasis on security. The symbol has been used for thousands of years by a variety of cultures for protection and warding.
Hutch Hutchison - Head of Design at XOR has spent 40 years devoted to a love of what he calls “Engineering Art”. This is the space where product design meets engineering in the perfect marriage.
XOR’s motto, “Safe by Design”, is multifaceted. The phone is technologically safe, in terms of encryption features that protect your business and your family. The phone discretely keeps you safe in other ways too (the air quality monitoring feature being a perfect example), and, it’s also a safe choice from a stylistic perspective, communicating the right messages about you and your tastes.
