https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/phil-zimmermann-we-really-really-dont-have-keys-020513 --- The other thing that Silent Circle doesn't do is hold any user encryption keys, not even for a second, because the keys never pass through the company's servers. The crypto operations are done on the client side. That's an important point, because it prevents the company from having to deal with any demands from law enforcement agencies looking for encryption keys. "We really, really don't have the keys," he said. "This is for serious people in serious situations. I think probably it's not a good idea to trust crypto software if they don't publish the source code. It's not just [to look for] back doors, but what if they screw up and make a mistake?" Silent Circle also has secure email and text apps. The company has published the source code for its VOIP app and plans to do the same for its text app next week. Zimmermann said that there is no chance that the company will include any back doors or law-enforcement access mechanisms for its products. "We're not going to build in any back doors in our service. I've spent my whole career on the principle of no back doors, so I'm not going to start now. One thing we won't do is cave in." ---
