Boeing Black: The self-destructing smartphone

Boeing Co. has developed a smartphone straight out of a James Bond movie. In addition to encrypting calls, any attempt to open the casing of the Boeing Black Smartphone deletes all data and renders the device inoperable.

The phone is aimed at people working in defence and homeland security who need to keep communication and data secure. Hardware media encryption and configurable inhibit controls are embedded to protect the device, its data and the transmission of information, reducing the risk of mission compromise due to data loss.

The phone runs on Android operating system. The 5.2” x 2.7” handset, slightly larger than an iPhone, uses dual SIM cards to enable it to access multiple cell networks instead of a single network like a normal cell phone. The phone can be configured to connect with biometric sensors or satellites.
