Hi Anne, Thanks for making this resource available. The descriptions of RedPhone and Ostel seem a bit inconsistent - or maybe I don't understand the distinction that's being made. "RedPhone ... encrypts voice communication data sent between two devices that run this application. However it also becomes easier to analyze the traffic it produces and trace it back to you, through your mobile number. RedPhone uses a central server, which is a point of centralization and thus puts RedPhone in a powerful position (of having control over some of this data)." "When using CSipSimple, you never directly communicate with your communication partner, instead all your data is routed through the Ostel server. This makes it much harder to trace your data and find out who you are talking to. Additionally, Ostel doesn't retain any of this data, except the account data that you need to log in." It sounds like you're saying the use of a central server is a disadvantage for RedPhone but an advantage for Ostel - which may be true, but I don't understand why. Cheers, Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRwFjzAAoJEBEET9GfxSfMWc0IAJmTnY1IXKNkCKnj7P68ei0D D9n4dlo6ZJ/yEIxYKoaji+bnFDuPVE5flkf1B58LqyIKxUOBds0XzLVmjDKGwrWZ vv9Jna6Ic07isFvJPyoq4zpjfKRspIfCRHmZVyOkCbnuh3takMz74q3BibtI6Izu STTVg3Fkw2fhfhQ0DSUEvU07s8rzBNwK4CNoikyxG9xF9ZwtlVLzOq5G0R9xoed8 0GxiJAzjCwLJm6saCkqHBilw4b0ky9JBNS/6hsZoXrY8v/Ps8CrNACcjkEHbH45O mDd5vgNMDkI3pcKnoz7QUztRoi8KxE4YiGRzT6XKE7Mwb84ZW8OcumkuXQcJkaQ= =FELY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Too many emails?
