The secure voice app is ZRTP (they are just using an existing open source ZRTP library). The ZRTP protocol is now an RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6189

The secure chat protocol they're using is something they developed and haven't yet published. It sounds as if it's similar to OTR, though. TextSecure (an encrypted SMS app I work on) uses a version of OTR adapted to the mobile environment, which is documented here:
