Company Makes Inconspicuous Secure Cellphone

dponce80 writes "With concerns over privacy at an all-time high, it's refreshing to hear that Swiss company VectroTel is making a secure mobile phone. The X8 encrypts secure calls (the unit is also able to make regular calls) with a virtually unbreakable 128-bit key, itself generated through a Diffie-Hellman exchange. While transmission does get somewhat delayed, communication is secure."

    So label me.

    I'm willing to defend my freedom to death. If necessary, against my government.

    And I bet, the US founding fathers would be proud of me.
