There IS NO secure phone! See any of the dozen other mails in this very thread about that topic. Or rather, there's not even any insecure phone - means you can't make it more secure by reviewing the firmware of the modem, since there IS NOTHING insecure in the firmware. It's not like you could kick out any rogue hidden backdoors since there aren't any, I won't elaborate again why that's evident. There are also no flaws in any security related encryptions or whatever that you could fix in the phone firmware, since those flaws (if any relevant) exist in the protocol spec and you need to fix both ends, mobile and BTS. And this still leaves all the other vulnerabilities of all public networks which always allow eavesdropping on a multitude of levels not under the control of the phone's firmware. Increasing demand for secure phone? I offer the only solution: adjust your habits, improve your knowledge. The phone is as secure as the user who operates it. /j -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments (alas the above page got scrapped due to resignation(!!), so here some supplementary links:) http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml http://www.nonhtmlmail.org/campaign.html http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil_still.shtml http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii/ (German)
