Phone Case Encrypts Phone Calls


There are many cases for smartphones in the electronics market. But not many offer the features that this cover does. As you may know, computers are vulnerable to malicious programs that can steal your personal information, well, cell phones are also victims of this type of robbery. A San Antonio start-up claims to have the solution to such problems. Today Vysk Communications announced a protective cover that makes it impossible for anyone to seep into your conversations. This case can encrypt calls, messages and photos by incorporating a proprietary encryption processor and its own microphone in it. The Vysk QS1 also has two mechanical camera shutters that blocks your phone's front and back camera, preventing the access from hackers.


When you put this case on your phone, you have two options, private call mode and lock-down mode. Private Call mode gives you a variety of security features as long as you're subscribed to a monthly fee of $ 9.95. With the application of QS Vysk installed you will be able to make private calls to other people who are subscribed. The company ensures that no one can hear your calls and that no information will be recorded, such as phone numbers, call time and caller ID. If you want to make calls to people who are not part of the subscription, Vysk QS1 also generate untraceable numbers, so if a hacker tries to hack your call, he will meet a sharp an annoying and sharp sound buzz. Other features includes private messaging, voice mail and pictures, remote wipe and password protection, among other things.

 

In the other hand, the Lock-down mode jams your phone's microphone, and also blocks your phone's camera (no subscription is required for this feature). The company believes that this case is the best alternative on the market since the applications available in the store continue to be vulnerable to hacks. The case will cost $229 and will be compatible with the iPhone 5 and 5s, the Samsung Galaxy  S4 and Samsung Galaxy S5. What do you think about phone security? Do you think this case's worth it?
