In our modern times of identity theft, phreaking, phone tapping, and lord knows what else, its good to feel secure with the people we talk too. The GSMK CryptoPhone is the secure answer for the PDA. The Tri-band phone runs Windows Mobile 5.0, has a 2.8 inch TFT LCD touchscreen, a 1.3 MP CMOS camera, and multimedia support for audio and video.
Specs from the site show the focus of importance on security:
- Strongest and most secure algorithms available today
- AES256 and Twofish
- 4096 bit Diffie-Hellman key exchange with SHA256 hash function
- Readout-hash based key authentication
- 256 bit effective key length
- Encryption key is destroyed immediately after the call ends
- Source code available online for independent security assessments
- Also supports unencrypted calls, unencrypted SMS, address book, calendar etc.
Unless your some kind of government agent, this phone is probobly a little bit of overkill on the security end. But for these trying times of insecure technology, a little extra encryption never hurt anyone. And if all else fails, it can work wonders for paranoid schizophrenics. — Andrew Dobrow
