Hmm, I thought Obama used an iPhone?

Smartphones are also mainly valuable based on the operating system. For example, the iPhone runs on the iOS and other devices run different operating systems which makes the functionality of these systems different. Thanks a lot.

An additional complication in distinguishing between smartphones and feature phones is that over time the capabilities of new models of feature phones can increase to exceed those of phones that had been promoted as smartphones in the past. Thanks for sharing.

A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a feature phone. Thanks.

An interesting arms race. At the same time that users are seeking secure phones to prevent data theft, law enforcement authorities are deploying Cellebrite forensic data extraction tools to recover data (even deleted files) from arrested suspect's SmartPhones. I wonder which technology is ahead and how many businesses users of secure phones are using them for illegitimate purposes.

I think a combination of hardware security and improved firmware is essential for establishing confidence in a 'secure' phone architecture. Fingerprint or other biometric measures are still understood as a good first line of defence, with a hypervisor being used to 'harden' commercial OSes and application software running above it. However, the weaknesses of user behaviour still present the greatest risk, and especially if there are a lot of these phones produced, reverse-engineering becomes a threat.

What a wonderful story. Many of us appreciate the need for secure smartphones. It is remarkable that it required the President of the United States to force the issue and make it happen. The technology trickle down from NASA to consumer products is an old technology story. Now in the security domain, it is being driven, in part, by the Chief Executive himself.
