A UK start-up has developed some technology to encrypt calls (and hence prevent snoopers) from fixed-line and mobile phones - and it looking to raise several million GBP as it comes close to closing some big deals. The company is called Cellcrypt, and is only 3 years old.
Security of calls has become a huge concern in recent years, but this new approach is software-based, rather than the traditionally hardware-only solutions.
Cellcrypt are not alone in this space - other companies are also touting their solutions on removable memory cards for example - but Cellcrypt are using VoIP software to deliver their capability. Obviously, a VoIP-capable app, twinned with a 3G or WiFi radio gives you a secure portable device.
It will be interesting to see where Cellcrypt go from here, and what deals they "secure" (if you'll pardon the pun!) - security is a hot topic at the moment, so I'd expect we are going to be hearing more them…
