Boeing this week filed an application with the United States Federal Communications Commission for a secure Android smartphone called the "Black" that will self-destruct if anyone tries to physically open the case.
The company will offer it to the U.S. defense and security communities.
The Black has embedded hardware security features, can be configured through software policies, and has endless modularity capabilities, according to Boeing.
"With hardware encryption and other security solutions, you can significantly reduce the potential threat of attacks," Jim McGregor, founder of Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. However, "unless you're willing to limit the functionality of the device and/or its services, there will always be some threats."
