Abstract

Abstract : The popularity of apps such as WhatsApp, Proton Mail and even, in its day, BlackBerry Messenger, shows that there is an appetite in the market for communications solutions that cater to people's needs for privacy and security. However, the focus has often been on consumer-oriented offerings and siloed, proprietary solutions. As Elisabetta Zaccaria and Roderick Hodgson of Secure Chorus explain in this interview, when it comes to enterprises and governments, there's a need for standards and compatibility in secure communications technology.
