Philip Zimmermann hardly needs any introduction. The name is very much familiar in the VoIP world. He has developed the most popular VoIP encryption protocols like ZRTP and Zfone. He is now working with Atelier to bring secure VoIP services for Symbian smartphones in line with his Zfone software.
The Zfone software can automatically encrypt voice calls made over the Internet and turn Symbian smartphones into secure crypto phones. It will also ensure privacy of your voice communication by checking wiretapping or eavesdropping.
Marc Menschenfreund, CEO of Atelier said,
We’re seeing VoIP telephony’s stellar growth and acceptance in the mass market, but users do not realize their Internet calls are more likely and easily intercepted than with standard telephony. With Phil Zimmermann’s Zfone for Symbian OS, we’re bringing to the masses the same level of privacy to VoIP calls that PGP® brought to email.
The unique feature of Zfone software is that, it can turn VoIP clients into secure phones by filtering the VoIP packets as they pass through the communications. It supports Windows, Mac and Linux.
The Zfone software sets a cryptographic key agreement between the two parties during the communication. After that, it encrypts and decrypts the voice packets to make the VoIP calls secure.

I Like mobile pones..
and also those which will be found on Cheap Mobile Phone deals and less cost.due to the Broadband Providers takes more time to fit their phone.
I have always liked PGP, that is until they decided to change over to a ”subscription” based model and expire your license after a year rendering the software useless. Hopefully they don’t try that same approach with this. Anyone know what sort of encryption is used on the Zphone?

Voip Business is the only way to go! I never really understood it and the savings that can be had until I actually switched my Business telephone System over to Voip.
This Zfone software sounds really interesting and is definitely worth checking out!
Zfone software is awesome. I am using it a lot since that day when I have purchased my first mobile phone which supports symbian OS. My friends told me many times to buy iPhone and choose from the bigger variety of apps but I have refused to do it. Zfone is the best and that’s all. Thanks to the author of this article.
