How to Make Your Smartphone Tap-Proof?

#sxsw #securefone

This session will show how to use smartphones spy proof. As a former member of the German Parliament I was a target of espionage. To protect my communication in states like Afghanistan, Russia, China or any other country that taps communication (like the US), it's helpful to know how to secure internet and voice communication. I will explain how to send e-mails, which no one except the intended recipient is able to read. The question, how to make encrypted phone calls, will be answered. Also chat systems can be used safely. Finally, in order to perfect your privacy, I will show you how to camouflage yourself and your phone.
