Given that 2019 is an election year in Canada and America has an election in 2020, politicians are taking greater pains than ever to keep their communications private. The 2016 US election is still fresh in everybody's memory, where Russia hacked the Republicans and the Democrats, even though only the Democrats had the contents of their emails published on WikiLeaks in an effort to help Donald Trump become president.

With signs indicating that attacks by foreign countries will continue for this election cycle, politicians must be extra careful not to compromise themselves or their party. There are countries other than Russia expected to attack North American elections, and this is the context in which politicians here are seeking out real encryption.

End-To-End Encryption

Political operatives, and even the democratic process itself, can only be truly safe if protected by end-to-end encryption. Actually, improvements in encryption have been dramatic since 2016, with contemporary tools offering world-class protection and functionality. 

The best encryption providers in the business have new approaches to the encrypted smartphone, offering both integrated PGP and Elliptical Curve Cryptography encryption solutions. 

You should be sure to read this in order to see how industry leaders in encryption are creating devices which offer many of the functions and tools you get from a smartphone with truly world-class encryption protection, like: chat messaging, group chat, anonymous group chat, voice messaging and image messaging.

Extremely Easy to Use

Even in recent years, it was impossible to find a phone that offered the best encryption technology while also being functional and easy to use. Phones either had very basic functions, or, if they were highly functional, they weren't completely secure.

Now, you don't need to be a highly-technical user to operate functions on encrypted phones that keep your communications safe, such as: tamper-proofing, automatic message delete, new key generation, and message saving.

This way, politicians can feel confident that their communications are secure while relying on their phone to keep up in a fast-paced environment, and they don't need to be engineers to do it.

Safeguarding Democracy

It may sounds like an exaggeration, but if our communications devices are the means through which foreign hackers use to subvert our democratic elections, then real encryption technology may accurately said to be playing a large role in safeguarding our democracy. Every political party has an obligation to keep their message tightly controlled, while the country's sovereignty depends on its ability to determine national affairs internally.

Politicians need a phone with advanced encryption, and smart security features. Democracy itself depends on advanced features like self-destructing messages (that can't be saved, forwarded, or favorited), duress and tamper-proofing, and phones that don't store information on servers at all.

There has never been an age in politics bereft of skulduggery, but new threats are larger and more common. That's why politicians today are turning to encrypted devices that keep them totally safe and permit them to keep up with all the demands of their job.
