Zfone encryption of VOIP phone calls stymies NSA
Tired of good ole' Uncle Sam clandestinely eavesdropping on your phone calls? Do you think freedom is supposed to mean more than "free to choose your breakfast cereal"? Regardless of which surveillance state you live in, the apparachniks want to tap into your phone calls. Regardless of whether you're being spied on by the Ministry of Publik Security, the KGB, or the NSA, Zfone may be what you're looking for. Wired News reports:
How easy is it for the average internet user to make a phone call secure enough to frustrate the NSA's extrajudicial surveillance program?
Wired News took Phil Zimmermann's newest encryption software, Zfone, for a test drive and found it's actually quite easy, even if the program is still in beta.
Zimmermann, the man who released the PGP e-mail encryption program to the world in 1991 -- only to face an abortive criminal prosecution from the government -- has been trying for 10 years to give the world easy-to-use software to cloak internet phone calls.
