Unrootable: Mash these bits together to get a CLASSIFIED spyphone

Demand clearly exists Given how readily every iPhone and Android device is rooted, infected, and otherwise compromised, the answer isn't simply "better software. " In the battle to secure our mobile endpoints, operating system tricks and mobile device management will only take us so far. To build a powerful, capable smartphone that can be trusted with classified documents, but used by personnel in the field takes the perfect marriage of hardware, software and expertise. To start with, we obviously need sealed storage – nothing on or off that device unless both the hardware and the software agree that this is allowed.

This Register hack recently had the good fortune to slip into the Australian Institute of Physics’s “Physics in Industry” conference. This meant I was listening to science that wasn’t filtered by political anti-science.

To date, we’ve been fortunate: the Internet (along with the physical-layer networks that transport the packets around and the data centres that store it and serve it up) is so distributed that the electricity cost is similarly distributed.
