Both fingers are crossed ;-) It doesn't matter if it is about SMS,(MMS),instant messaging (jabber?),email, phonecalls or data connections (sftp/https/ssh/freenx/...) I would like to see a good security/encryption/keyhandling/OTP support as core function in the OpenMoko design. OpenMoko/Neo1973 has so much potential to achieve both - a high level of security *and* usability. E.g. the device modus of USB allows that the Neo1973 is a "virtual" cryptocard that protects your private key when you are working with a workstation/server... Meeting people would a great chance to exchange public keys and sign them. Non OpenMoko users you could give a J2ME applet and 140 KB random data (SMS has 160*7 Bit = 140*8 Bit) as OTP for your next 1000 SMS For companies would it be interesting to hide even the information which employee is communicate with whom - e.g. every 15 minutes every employee upload and download a dummy packet with or without information inside. Can't understand companies trusting blackberry by giving them all their sensible communication on blackberry servers. Greetings, rob PS: It is not a question if you are paronoid, it's a question if you are paranoid enough ;) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
