Funding 30 Million to Build the Most Secure Android

At this year's MWC show, there are vendors that have demonstrated the history of the safest Android-powered Blackphone. Blackphone's Android system has been specially tailored for security. Although the Blackphone's hardware is flat, the software seems very expensive. Silent Circle, a Blackphone maker, raised 30 million U.S. dollars in a new round of financing to create the safest Android machine in history. Android's security has always been criticized. It seems that it is necessary to improve security. This cost is not something that the average person can afford.

Silent Circle Raises $30 Million to Build the Most Secure Android Phone in History It is reported that Silent Circle has raised $30 million under the leadership of Ross Perot Jr., and Perot Jr. will also join the company's board of directors. The company said it will use the funds it has raised to "accelerate the development of secure communications market products and Blackphone smartphones." However, it is still not known when the Blackphone will officially start selling.

The United States "Prism Door" incident was the catalyst for the birth of the Blackphone. To prevent eavesdropping, Silent Circle decided to build the safest Android-powered Blackphone in history. Compared with other smart machines, Blackphone hardware has no characteristics, the hardware configuration is a 4.7-inch IPS screen, a resolution of 720P level, clocked at 2GHz quad-core processor, 16GB storage space, camera is 8 million pixels.

However, Blackphone's system is extraordinary. It is reported that Blackphone is running a custom Android system named PrivatOS that integrates numerous security applications from Silent Circle. For example, Silent Phone allows users to make point-to-point encrypted calls, while Silent Text can send encrypted messages. The sender can even set the time for automatic deletion. After the time expires, the message will disappear completely in the recipient's sender's device. Privacy Secured.

Blackphone's path is not unusual, and the cost of adding software through software seems high. In addition to huge development costs, users also need to pay a lot of fees for Blackphone's security services. Each user who buys a Blackphone has one year of free access, and one year later they need to pay a monthly service fee of $10. If you do not pay, Blackphone and general Andrews machine is no different.
