If you are particularly anxious about the security of your conversations, you have a reason to feel more confident. It will simply cost you about 2.000 euros.
The German company Secusmart is going to market the secure version of BlackBerry 10, for the amount of 2.000 euros, without a contract. This is the version of the device that the company has for the needs of secure communications for government officials, bankers, businessmen and lawyersconditions.
What makes Secusmart's modified BlackBerry 10 different is its SecuSuite encryption hardware suite. It includes ECC features (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), authentication of the interlocutor and 128-bit AES encryption. The SecuSuite encryption suite is "embedded" in a special microSD memory card which offers additional secure memory to the device for storing important data.
However, for the above security parameters to apply, both interlocutors must have the modified BlackBerry. Otherwise, that is, if one of the interlocutors has a common mobile phone, the communication will remain vulnerable to interception.
This move by Secusmart comes at a time when concern about the security of communications (telephone and electronic) is peaking, globally. In fact, the company intends to make similar "modifications" to other, commercially available, Appliances Android and iOS. With the release of secure devices at lower prices, the company believes that there are possibilities of growing the relevant market.
According to Bloomberg, according to 2013, the company delivered more than 2.000 secure BlackBerry, only to the German government. Recipient of one of these smartphones was German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Also, the company has sold modified mobile phones to various governments in northern Europe, South America and the Middle East.
