An open-source project has released the first free iPhone that encrypts voice calls, preventing government surveillance or eavesdropping by hackers.
The project has been undertaken by Open Whisper Systems, which developed RedPhone and TextSecure, two Android applications for encrypting calls and text messages.
The app is compatible with RedPhone, and eventually RedPhone and TextSecure will be combined into a single Android app, according to a blog post. Importantly, it’s free. There are many voice call encryption products on the market for various platforms, most of which aren’t cheap and are aimed at enterprise users.
