Ah, mobile phones -- the wonderful little slates carry our contacts, our content -- even our cash, plus they still your style within our pockets. No real surprise then, that the lost or stolen phone could be a minor disaster -- or perhaps a major security risk (just request the Leader). Since soldiers are packing these to send Gps navigation coordinates or situational images within the area -- on the top of utilizing them in your own home -- DARPA has enlisted security company Invincea to fortify the products. Its first effort, encrypting OS files and filling the memory of the lost phone with useless data, was already used to three,000 troops in Afghanistan. Its next target would be to cloister applications into virtual rooms inside the OS, securing off use of sensitive areas of the telephone like its Gps navigation or contact lists. That will keep any nasty items of adware and spyware from potentially attaining root rights so soldiers can fight, and Facebook, without compromise.
