Snowden's New App Haven Uses Your Smartphone To Physically Guard Your Laptop (theintercept.com)

Posted by msmash on Friday December 22, 2017 @02:00AM from the app-to-watch-out dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: The NSA whistleblower and a team of collaborators have been working on a new open source Android app called Haven that you install on a spare smartphone, turning the device into a sort of sentry to watch over your laptop. Haven uses the smartphone's many sensors -- microphone, motion detector, light detector, and cameras -- to monitor the room for changes, and it logs everything it notices. The first public beta version of Haven has officially been released; it's available in the Play Store and on F-Droid, an open source app store for Android.
