Blackphone 2

Built from the ground up with privacy and security in mind, the Blackphone 2 with Silent Phone protects against hijacked apps, man-in-the-middle attacks and big-brother surveillance. With Silent OS, Blackphone 2 provides a familiar Android environment and access to Google apps and services, while offering choice and control over how and when data is shared. Blackphone is encrypted by default with 128-bit AES to protect stored data, and its apps offer encrypted text, file transfer, and voice out of the box. Secure boot detects and prevents attempted system modifications. Silent OS implements dm-verity to guarantee system integrity from the factory. Users can create up to four virtual phones on one device, with data separation and control over per-Space privacy settings.

Blackphone 2 offers Android security enhancements such as separate encryption and screen lock passcodes; automatic disabling of installation from unknown sources after a set time period; and randomized pin pad display for secure passcode entry. The Blackphone Security Center provides easy access to privacy and security settings in one convenient place, including management of Spaces and app-level permission controls. With the Privacy Meter, Blackphone 2 owners are notified of any aspect which may be compromising the security and privacy of their data. The Privacy Meter also includes notifications about potential risks in the cellular network modem (also known as baseband), such as whether the device could be connected to a fake tower or to a network with weak encryption.
