Law Practice Management Tip
LockSquawkBox: Encrypt Your Smartphone Calls
At this late date, even the last vestiges of loose data are
becoming privatized. With the advent of smartphones as
mini-computers, and their hostile takeover of all things telephony,
it is now possible to encrypt even your telephone calls.
This recent article from TechRepublic (and comments), discussing an
Android platform encryption option, does a good job of explaining
the movement. The Android app reviewed?: RedPhone.
But, Android does not have the market cornered on smartphone call
encryption. Each of the major smartphone platforms offers its own
apps, in its own app stores; and, each has its own call encryption
app: There is Kryptos, for the iPhone; and
there's CellCrypt Mobile, for Blackberry and
Nokia
phones.
