Zfone: Secure, encrypted VoIP from PGP creator

by Jordan Running on March 15, 2006 at 11:30 AM

ZfonePhil Zimmerman, creator of the popular PGP encryption system, has released Zfone, an app that adds secure encryption to any SIP-based VoIP client like Gizma, Wengo, or Ekiga. The encryption protocol, which Zimmerman has submitted as a standard draft to the IETF, is exclusively peer-to-peer, meaning it does not rely on public key infrastructure for security. Zfone is currently available for free for Mac OS X and Linux, with a Windows version due in April.
