A secure phone, designed with user privacy and security as the primary objective

Will government call on the Blackphone for secure comm?

The latest tool for secure communication in government might be the Blackphone. The sleek, black smartphone uses encryption so users can make secure phone calls, use video chat features and store files securely. And while the Blackphone name may not be well known yet, its creators, Geeksphone and Silent Circle, are at the heart of many efforts to improve secure communications. 

Geeksphone is a Madrid-based company specializing in the development, promotion and commercialization of open-source mobile telephony. The company launched an Android smartphone in 2009 and the world's first Firefox OS-powered smartphone in 2013. Silent Circle provides a peer-to-peer platform for encrypted voice, video, text and file transfer on mobile devices via a secure, proprietary network, software and mobile apps.
