Today, he and his encryption company Silent Circle will help launch Blackphone. The whole purpose of the Blackphone will be to protect users’ privacy. Running a ‘security-oriented’ version of Android, called PrivatOS, the Blackphone will be carrier and vendor-independent and will let users make and receive secure phone calls, exchange secure texts, transfer and store files, and video chat through a virtual private network, according to the company’s announcement.”
