Phil Zimmermann and Former Navy Seal To Secure Phone Calls

From Julie Bort … World-Famous Privacy Guru Phil Zimmermann Teams With Navy Seals To Secure Your Phone Calls:

Silent Circle got its start with a phone call—the everyday kind of communication the privacy-protection startup hopes to secure when it launches its first product next month.

Internet Hall of Famer and privacy guru Phil Zimmermann was minding his own business (as he always does) when he got a call from a former Navy Seal, Mike Janke.

Zimmermann didn't know Janke. But Janke had a big idea for a new kind of superprivate, secure version of Skype. So he called up one of the world's experts on privacy and security and asked him to help found a company.
