Security analysis of the state-approved secure smartphone
Organization

Abstract
The Estonian government plans to introduce secure smartphones that could be used to discuss classified information. The phones have been approved by the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service (Välisluureamet) and are technically ready for use. The secure phones are ordinary mobile phones that can be bought from a shop, but with encryption software installed. The phones allow users to make calls, send messages, read e-mails and visit verified websites, but for security reasons, the phones do not allow apps that require an internet connection or Bluetooth connection. Up to 240 people should receive a secure phone this year, while it is hoped that this figure will rise to 500 next year.
The task of this project is to obtain such a smartphone and analyze how it has been hardened and what security guarantees compared to a casual smartphones these secure smartphones provide.
