L’home dibuixat

Del creador del PGP, un producte anomenat Silent Circle que permet xifrar les trucades telefòniques. Per a telèfons Android així com per l'iPhone. Encara no està disponible (la versió beta està prevista pel juliol) i requerirà una subscripció de 20 dòlars per mes. A més a més de les trucades, també permet un accés segur al correu electrònic i disposa d'un sistema propi de missatgeria.

Silent Circle's planned debut comes amid recent polls suggesting that Internet users remain concerned about online data collection (or at least are willing to tell pollsters so), with Facebook topping health insurers, banks, and even the federal government as today's No. 1 privacy threat. Yet even after a decade of startups that have tried to capitalize on these concerns, consumers spending their own money remain consistently difficult to persuade that paying for privacy is worth it.

Zimmermann hopes to overcome this reluctance by offering a set of services designed from the start to be simple to use: encrypted e-mail, encrypted phone calls, and encrypted instant messaging. (Encrypted SMS text messages are eventually planned too.)
