New feature description
Chameleon mode- Chameleon Mode enables the user to create two separate users within one phone. One is the regular secured main user with secure calls and secure messages application, and the other one is regular normal android user. This feature allows the user to use the phone as regular phone as well as use it to show deceptive view of the phone for security reasons and keep the main user data safe and secured. For example: If the user is forced to hand over and unlock the Phone all is needed is to unlock it with your Chameleon PIN and all the data will be shielded from the unauthorized user, while the phone will present alternative account with fake (set by the user) or empty records - messages, photo albums, apps etc.
Panic mode- This advanced security feature is based on the chameleon feature and designed to protect the user in case of a physical encounter with non-friendly third party.
By enabling the Panic mode, two emails will be sent upon entering the Chameleon user pin code to specific email address set by the user.
- Mail with few seconds video from the device (recorded once the chameleon user pin code was entered)
- Mail with location of the device, one picture from the front of camera and one picture from the back camera.
