The new Pretty Good Phone Privacy service for Android hides the data linking you to your mobile device.
, the company’s Pretty Good Phone Privacy or PGPP service will replace the mechanism carriers normally use to turn cell phone tower connection data into a trove of information about users’ movements. And it will also offer a Relay service that disassociates a user’s IP address from their web browsing.
“If you can decouple a user’s identity from the way they connect to a network, that’s a general-purpose hammer that can solve a lot of privacy problems,” says Raghavan, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Privacy should be the default and it’s not currently, so we’re working on that. There’s a growing appetite as people become more concerned about what their phone is leaking to telecoms and tech companies.
PGPP’s ability to mask your phone’s identity from cell towers comes from a revelation about why cell towers collect the unique identifiers known as IMSI numbers, which can be tracked by both telecoms and other entities that deploy, often called stringrays, which mimic a cell tower for surveillance purposes.
On the PGPP “Mobile Pro” plan, which costs $90 per month, users get unlimited mobile data in the US and, at launch, unlimited international data in most European Union countries. Users also get 30 random IMSI number changes per month, and the changes can happen automatically or on demand whenever the customer wants them. The system is designed to be blinded so neither INVISV nor the cell towers you connect to know which IMSI is yours at any given time.
