I'm not going to try prove anything I say or know. It should not matter to anybody. Take what anybody says and research it. My stating who I am, what my connections are means nothing.

New tech company called SIRIN LABS is launching its first smartphone today. It's called the Solarin, and it's supposed to be a super high-end phone with super high-end security features built in. "Solarin incorporates the most advanced privacy technology, currently unavailable outside the agency world," Sirin Labs writes in its announcement.

If that doesn't tip you off, Sirin Labs is making some fairly bold security claims here, which you'll want to take with some skepticism for the time being — it's a new company, and there's no track record to judge it by.

A "SHIELDED MODE" IS SUPPOSED TO ENABLE SECURE CALLING

Sirin Labs says its first phone includes "military grade" encryption integrated into its hardware. There's also a physical "Security Switch" that puts the phone into a "shielded mode" for making secure phone calls. Sirin Labs doesn't elaborate on how that works exactly, but, presumably, it won't fully shield the phone from outside signals (although that would make it pretty secure). The phone also appears to come with some sort of built-in security software.

Those security features come at one heck of a price: Engadget reports that Sirin Labs will sell the Solarin for £9,500 pre-tax, or just under $14,000 USD. It's seemingly hoping to target wealthy customers for whom privacy deeply matters.

Retired at 20 just before OIF. Had the honor to pass torch to next generation family member who I swore in.
Average career with some high points. As far as connections, I am only a "citizen petitioning the government for a redress of grievances" as guaranteed by the Constitution. My grievance is to get the troops what they need COMSEC wise on their I-Phones which I believe to be SFOR's Mobile Trust version 2.
