“Phil Zimmerman first made his mark on the security realm in 1991 when he released PGP, the most widely-used email encryption software in the world. 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.”
