Smartphone have become a common gadget at everyone hand. Be it kid, adult or and aged everyone own their own device to communicate with their relatives and loved ones and also for various other purpose. It is not a phone anymore, it is like a world in the hand. The way smartphone has become so generic item, it alwsys make me wonder, how secure it can be for anyone. Todays, we only know about #android and #ios operating system, that are available to most of us. We all know, it takes a little for a hacker to hack on any of these device.
Apart from the common man, there exist some elite group of people.who holds some prominent position and power. Like the President of a nation or the security agencies or the Prime Minister. They have the authority and power. I often wonder, Do they too carry same communicable smartphone that we carry along or they have some specialised device which could be more encrypted and secured.
In my finding, I found that neither presidents nor spy agencies use common phones. They utilize secure, specialized communication devices for enhanced security and to protect sensitive information. While presidents of a nation may have personal phones, their official communications are handled through secure devices. These devices are often specially enhanced to prevent eavesdropping and hacking. Likewise, Spy agencies like the CIA and NSA and other security agencies uses highly specialized communication devices to protect the secrecy of their operations. These devices are often designed to be untrackable and resistant to interception.
The main reason for using non-common phones is to prevent the compromise of sensitive information. Spy agencies are particularly concerned about the possibility of their communications being intercepted or hacked. In this case, what are rhe devices that these personal use. Here are few of the device name that were considered safe and secured :
Boeing
The "Boeing Black" is a highly secure Android smartphone designed and manufactured by Boeing in collaboration with BlackBerry. The Boeing Black is not designed for the general public and is primarily intended for use by government agencies and organizations requiring high levels of data security. The phone features a self-destruct function, automatically erasing data and software if the device's casing is broken open, along with encryption capabilities for calls.
Liverum 5
The Purism Librem 5 smartphone is designed with several security features, including hardware kill switches, a focus on open-source software, and a separate cellular modem, making it a more secure device than conventional smartphones.
Finney
The Finney phone enhances security through features like a cold storage wallet for cryptocurrency, a Safe Screen that activates only when using the wallet, and a multi-layered cybersecurity suite. It also includes secure communications, secure email, app white-listing, and app lock features. The Finney phone's security is built around a combination of hardware and software features, including a dedicated cold storage wallet, a secure operating system, and blockchain verification, all working together to provide a high level of security for cryptocurrency and other sensitive data.
These secure smartphone devices represents the pinnacle of technological advancement that ensure complete protection of all the sensitive information. There are other devices like the recently released io17 and GrapheneOS on Google pixel. That may provide an additional layer of security enhancement. These smartphone are not meant for general public but having them with top most authority enables a full proof mechanism of security.
In good faith - peace!!
