PGP founder, Navy SEALs uncloak encrypted comms biz Phil Zimmermann and some of the original PGP team have joined up with former US Navy SEALs to build an encrypted communications platform that should be proof against any surveillance. The company, called Silent Circle, will launch later this year, when $20 a month will buy you encrypted email, text messages, phone calls, and videoconferencing in a package that looks to be strong enough to have the NSA seriously worried. Zimmermann says that surveillance by the state and others has increased vastly over the last few years, and privacy improvement are again needed.
Wondering if the $20 a month will be per device the app is installed on. CNET's article makes mention of plans for not only iPhone & Android apps but also PC and Mac.

Now....we just need some schmoe from the NSA to see if it is actually secure. I guess you're just going to have to take their word for it......
