Jacaylbaro Posted March 8, 2012 NSA's Secure Android Spec The NSA has released its specification for a secure Android. One of the interesting things it's requiring is that all data be tunneled through a secure VPN: Inter-relationship to Other Elements of the Secure VoIP System The phone must be a commercial device that supports the ability to pass data over a commercial cellular network. Standard voice phone calls, with the exception of emergency 911 calls, shall not be allowed. The phone must function on US CDMA & GSM networks and OCONUS on GSM networks with the same functionality. All data communications to/from the mobile device must go through the VPN tunnel to the VPN gateway in the infrastructure; no other communications in or out of the mobile device are permitted. Applications on the phone additionally encrypt their communications to servers in infrastructure, or to other phones; all those communications must be tunneled through the VPN.
