I'm trying to come up with a name for the secure phone software I'm planning on releasing. The software would turn any multimedia PC into a secure phone. I'm open to suggestions for the name. Some names that have been suggested: 1) Voice PGP 2) Pretty Good Secure Phone (PGSP) 3) PGP Phone I like 2 or 3. Does anyone want to suggest other names, or vote for which of these is better? Send your replies to prz@acm.org, with the subject line of "Name that phone". The winner will get a free copy. But then, so will a lot of other people.

Secure Vox or Vox PGP
VeriVox (Isn't VeriPhone in existence? sounds familiar) PriVox (PriVoxy) DOS Vox (Dome of Silence ...) LB Vox (Little Brother Speaks, and no one can hear) Vox/1994 (tenuous reference to conquering 1984/BB, 1994 being somewhat year of public crypto, etc. Oh, nevermind. ) Private is my adjective of choice lately since laypeople don't know what crypto is and secure seems ambiguous to me (in laymens mindset).

Good luck with it. From the name it figures that you're gonna use the PGP as the engine. As an aside, several years ago... I knew people who used 'crypto-phones'...all they did was time-slicing and basic simple scrambling. They sliced up the conversation into 1/100ths of a second and regurgitated it at the other end. A friend of mine could listen to the 'encoded' output and tell you exactly what they were saying...in real time :> I guess PGP should be better (or 1/10000 sec time slices :> ) just for interest. jRT
Cryptriloquist- crypto & ventriloquist SFS- Safe Fone System Zimmerphone Tapestry- reference to weft & warp of Individual threads Social Security- Only seems fair that we should have something of that name that is functional. murmur The Village Voice Echo- The nymph whose unrequited love for Narcissus caused her to pine away until nothing but her voice remained. phonetiquette- phone, phonetic, & etiquette Re-Voice Babbler- a tape recording of several dozen voices talking at the same time, used as an antibugging device to make private or secret conversations inaudible to eavesdroppers. New Obiter Dictum (NOD)- An incidental remark or observation; a passing comment. Phone DeBug (PDB) AIWWA- As if we were alone :o- or your emoticon of choice, it would be the first software to be titled under a non-alphabetical symbol. My question is if/how this new software would work between modems. :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: : Paper_Soldier : :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
