Policy-neutral IAPP is the largest information privacy organization in the world. In one of its news items on the state of privacy, the IAPP reported on a new operating system for Android phones called Silent OS 3.0. Created by an encrypted-communications firm called Silent Circle, the operating system will include a program called Privacy Meter that will scan the phone for behavior by apps that may compromise the device’s security. The program will alert the user if any browsing certificates have been changed or if the user’s location is being shared by an app. Other programs created by Silent Circle include Silent Phone and Silent Text, which encrypt communications to prevent third-party surveillance.
