NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and prominent hardware hacker Andrew Huang have designed a cellphone hardware aimed at impeding digital surveillance. Andrew told Sputnik more about the project and how the hardware works.
The pair is developing a way for potentially imperiled smartphone users to monitor whether their devices are making any compromising radio transmissions.
“We are specifically targeting iPhone 6 because it requires looking at specific information within its hardware. We also don’t trust the phone itself in a way it should be trusted because we’ve seen the phones compromised,” Andrew Huang said.
When asked whether they already had a working prototype, he said they had discerned certain signals they could probe using lab equipment, and that they have confidence that the implementation will work so that they can introduce the lab measurements into the device.
