For the past few months, some of the worlds leading cryptographers have been keeping a closely guarded secret about a pioneering new invention. Today, theyve decided its time to tell all.
Back in October, the startup tech firm Silent Circle (https://silentcircle.com/) ruffled governments feathers with a surveillance-proof smartphone app (http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2012/10/silent_circle_mike_janke_s_iphone_app_makes_encryp tion_easy_governments.single.html) to allow people to make secure phone calls and send texts easily. Now, the company is pushing things even furtherwith a groundbreaking encrypted data transfer app that will enable people to send files securelyfrom a smartphone or tablet at the touch of a button. (For now, its just being released for iPhones and iPads, though Android versions should come soon.) That means photographs, videos, spreadsheets, you name itsent scrambled from one person to another in a matter of seconds.
This has never been done before, boasts Mike Janke, Silent Circles CEO. Its going to revolutionize the ease of privacy and security.
