GSM-Crypto 400

enCrypted quad-Band GSM cell phone

The Problem Telecommunications interception has developed into a major industry in the last two decades. Intelligence agencies and private organizations within all countries routinely intercept calls that may yield sensitive political, military or economic information. The use of wiretapping has become so widespread, simple and uncontrolled that you must assume that records of your private calls end up in the wrong hands. Equipment for wireless interception of mobile phone calls has become available at such low prices that it is deployed frequently even in comparatively small business conflicts. So using encryption to protect your privacy is the prudent choice. But protecting your information with strong and trustworthy encryption has become difficult. "Proprietary" or "Secret" algorithms of dubious quality, and encryption that is too weak to protect against modern computing power are commonplace in the telecommunications market. These weaknesses are masked by marketing efforts, suggesting that you need to rely on "the secrecy of the algorithm" or "government classification" - certified by the same intelligence agencies that are actually in charge of telecommunications interception.
