It’s been a while since the last post. There’s a few in the pipeline but in the mean time here’s another quick dip into the EmbeddedSphere.

Zfone from Phil Zimmerman is continuing to take some massive strides towards acceptance by the IETF according to the VOIPSA. So as VOIPSA asks why doesn’t Skype embrace a protocol like ZRTP to deflect the criticism and suspicion surrounding it’s VoIP encryption?
