Android App Aims to Allow Wiretap-Proof Cell Phone Calls
Andy Greenberg at The Firewall, a Forbes Blog - an introduction to RedPhone, a ZRTP-encrypted voice over internet protocol (VoIP) app, and TextSecure, Off the Record (OTR) messaging for SMS, both for Google's Android and available for free from Whisper Systems. Moxie Marlinspike, the handle of their developer, also plans to submit iPhone versions to Apple.
Both RedPhone and TextSecure are currently in beta and both are free. Even though all RedPhone calls go through Whisper Systems' servers, they plan to keep both apps free, but offer premium services to stay in business. I wish them success.
