President Obama's smartphone is "I can't talk"

When U.S. President Barak Obama arrived in the government in 2009, he worked hard to keep his favorite BlackBerry.

Due to security issues, two units were forced to hold two units, a normal BlackBerry and a secure "Secure Gallery" (see the image gallery at the beginning), eventually the President.A special "BlackBerry 8830 World Edition" equipped with encrypted technology certified by the National Security Bureau (NSA) was provided.

In this way, President Obama continued to have BlackBerry, but since then, the technical change in the mobile industry seems to have extended to the White House.

President Obama has recently appeared on the talk program "The Tonite Show Staling Jimmy Fallon", and is now not a BlackBerry, but has become too secure and looks like a child toys.He said he was carrying it (at the end of the sentence: "There is no camera, I can't make a text message, I can't talk, and I can't play music.").

The president did not mention the model name in the program, but only one mobile device supported the US Defense Information Systems Bureau (DISA), which provides the White House a communication service.It is "Galaxy S4" by Samsung, which was "enhanced".

Galaxy S4 is the only device supported by the DISA "DMCC-S" (DOD Mobility Classified Capability-Secret) program.In 2014, Samsung's Device had approved the National Security Bureau (NSA) in the CSFC (NIAP) CSFC (NIAP) CSFC (NIAP) CSFC (NIAP) CSFC (NIAP) CSFC.This was largely due to Samsung's security technology "KNOX".

The Galaxy S4, which is a hierarchical service managed by DISA, has been approved for the first time as a commercial mobile phone that is classified as a secret network.

Currently, the highest level classification that can be handled in commercial devices in the DMCC program is "secret".Secretary of State John Kelly introduced DMCC-S as soon as possible and served as a beta tester of the enhanced Galaxy S4.

DMCC-S's Galaxy S4 sacrifice part of the function for security.While biometric authentication is adopted, there is no camera that users can use, and of course you can not shoot selfies.In DMCC-S's Galaxy S4, the selection of the "Android" application is limited to the "Mobile Application Store" (MAS) by DISA.

Standard DMCC-S Galaxy S4 can be used for ordinary domestic and international calls in addition to secure VOIPs.According to the DISA's Galaxy S4, the use of e-mails is provided through the "Outlook Web Access" according to the data sheet of the DISA aircraft.

President Obama said in Fallon's program, "I can't make a phone call," but "President's Galaxy S4" is limited to voip, which is a secure call, and is controlled by a secure exchange table.It is seen.
