A cellphone that’s being marketed as the securest phone
available made its debut at a trade show recently. The Blackphone is an Android
smartphone that has encrypted operating software, cyber-security strengthening
apps and a virtual private network for snoop-free web browsing. Despite these
privacy-boosting measures, the phone’s manufacture isn’t ready to call it
completely secure. Given our recent class discussion about how mobile phones are
putting out information about us, I found the concept of the Blackphone
interesting. I wonder if there will be a demand for it? Some people believe the first folks in line to buy it when it comes out in June will be criminals.
