"“Pretty Good Phone Privacy” (PGPP) protects both user identity and user
location using the
existing cellular networks. It protects users from fake cell phone towers
(IMSI-catchers) and
surveillance by cell providers.
It’s a clever system. The players are the user, a traditional mobile
network operator (MNO)
like AT&T or Verizon, and a new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).
MVNOs aren’t
new. They’re intermediaries like Cricket and Boost."
