[VOIPSEC] Phil Zimmerman to release VoIP Encryption Software (c. March)

[dan_york at Mitel.com]

Thanks for the mention, Steve.  Yes, Phil Zimmermann and O'Reilly gave us 
permission to record and distribute his talk announcing zFone.  It's 
available for download at:

  http://www.blueboxpodcast.com/2006/01/blue_box_etel20.html

Subsequently, Phil wound up sitting down at the same large table I was at 
for lunch which naturally resulted in more discussion on the topic among 
all of us there.  On a personal level as a longtime PGP user, it was 
definitely intriguing to hear what he is doing.  I don't know yet what 
applicability there will be yet to corporate environments, so we'll have 
to see on that.... but as a security geek I'm definitely interested in 
checking it out.

At the time, he said he'd be open to coming onto a Blue Box podcast to 
talk specifically about zFone as the release gets closer in March... we'll 
definitely pursue that and hopefully can make schedules work to have a 
longer chat all about it (which might be entertaining to do via zFone, 
come to think of it).  If we do... and if you have specific questions 
you'd like us to ask, drop me a line.

Regards,
Dan

  Thanks Candace. This is also discussed on a recent blue box podcast.
