We are looking for a good, secure voice encryption program for mobile phones. There seem to be so many in google search that I don't know which is better for us. There are free ones and very expensive ones. There are the hardware types and just scripts.
Can anyone recommend some good websites I can read about pros and cons of each programs and each types.

Thanks

Since this isn't a programming question, more of a software question, I'm moving this to the Computer Support & Operating Systems forum smile.gif

What non-scam reason would anyone want to encrypt their voice on a mobile phone?

I understand why you would think that way. But I have good reasons.
Anyway, I'm asking a simple question about legitimate computer products.
You could simply have ignored me or said you didn't know.
But thank you for your answers.

To uphold a level of respect & honesty with all of our members, we need to judge how this information can be used.

Any answers to this thread will probably go under heavy review. Regardless of how you intend to use it, we can't be held responsible for someone using an answered question to run a scam.

So no, I don't feel as if though I should not have responded. It's part of my moderation duties.

& I'm still extremely curious to know these "legitimate reasons".

I'm working with an opposition party in a country run by a military government. (Since there's no way to prove this I don't see how it will help)

If you think that these encryption software do not work for some reasons, please let me know so I'll be even more skeptical.
I'm looking to buy one, unless there are some free ones I can try, not to sell a service.

Thanks again for the answer.

I personally believe in the right to use encryption to have private conversations -- however many countries have laws about what can be used.

While I am sure that encrypted phones exist on the market (a Google search confirms) I would imagine that various countries will have laws governing their use. On the newer smart phones it should be relatively simple to write encryption for VoIP programs.

Keep in mind though that encryption is non-trivial and to get encryption to run at real-time speeds requires a good about of processing power. I think that you will find that "encrypted cell phones" tend to use hardware encryption rather than software encryption.

Thank you Nick for your thoughts.

I'm pretty sure it is illegal where I am or at least can be made illegal very easily, but then so is freedom of expression as guaranteed by the UN Charter.

Anyway, After a few days reading, I have yet to find a credible independent report on the subject. Every piece I've read is pretty much a sales pitch. I'll keep on looking and watching this forum in case someone comes up with something interesting.

Thanks again,
