A battle royale between secure phone vendors has erupted with BlackBerry hitting back at Silent Circle, maker of Blackphone.

In an official blog post on BlackBerry’s website, its chief security officer David Kleidermacher has responded to Silent Circle’s claim that BlackBerry’s security was “very much like it was done in 2007”.

In what is a hearts and minds battle for supremacy in the secure-smartphone market, Mr Kleidermacher painted the maker of Blackphone as one among lots of small companies purporting to offer a secure Android solution. But he said the issue came down to trust and BlackBerry’s more than 10 years in secure mobile communications had earned that trust.
