A secure mobile phone?



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.
