Any reason you didn't take the work? Seriously locking down a phone seems like a rewarding cross-domain engineering challenge.
I'm honestly shocked at how most ultra-high risk people just use off the shelf products, sure they are addictive devices yes, but every few months there's another story of military, celebrity or political compromise because of their phones. It seems like a ripe field if you can somehow convince the end-user it's in their interest to reduce functionality.
- lrvick 5y agoWorking on an open source project in public is one thing, but doing private work where I don't have any idea what the target use case is, is generally a non starter for me regardless of pay. Could be FBI, could be terrorists. My personal mission is to help bring more privacy, security, and freedom to people so I don't really have an interest in work that does not further those goals. I started my own security consulting firm largely so I can make a good living but also pick and choose my projects. If I just wanted money without caring about ethics I know where to find high paying jobs at surveillance capitalism companies.
