Encrypting Mobile Phone Calls


RedPhone is an Android app developed by Whisper Systems, (which oddly enough, is owned by Twitter). Rather than being a hotline to the Kremlin, once installed and configured, it gives you the option of encrypting calls you make to others who also have RedPhone installed on their phones. the integration is seamless, as you can continue to use the built-in dialler as normal, with the added bonus of RedPhone giving you the option of encrypting the call if it detects that the person you called also has RedPhone installed.

RedPhone can be downloaded here. I also recommend checking out their blog, as it's much more interesting (and less technical) than you'd expect.
