The Government of Pakistan is working to launch a secure and seamless messaging Application “Beep Pakistan” for government officials or employees. The objective of the App is to prevent leakage of government information.
Sources told ProPakistani that the National Information Technology Board (NITB), an attached department of the Ministry of Information and Technology, has been developing the smartphone App with features, including chatting, voice calling, and video calling.
According to sources, the Minister for Information Technology has also announced to make the App mandatory for government officials. The Prime Minister, cabinet members, and others working in sensitive positions would utilize the messaging App.
The App has been under development for quite some time now and if sources are to be believed then the final testing would be happening anytime soon.
The smartphone App resembles WhatsApp, however, its UI [user interface] has been developed with security threats and cyber-attacks in mind.
It is worth mentioning here that a global investigation found that India had targeted a phone formerly used by Prime Minister Imran Khan with spyware developed by an Israeli business, raising worries of broad privacy and rights violations.
NITB developed this secure app. Its so secure, soooo so secure, that its very much and too much secure. I am sure the world needs to learn from the tech prowess of NITB. Soon we will be able to export secure comms tech developed by NITB.
NITB is going to be the next cryptography king with this new encrypted messaging tech. Tiny organizations like NSA, FBI etc cant eavesdrop now – only and only because of snake oil salesmen at NITB. Our future is so, so very much and extremely secure. NITB shall rule the world now. I think Bill Gates visited Pakistan to beg for mercy. But we did not listen, and went ahead with the launch of such a disruptive toooooooo much secure technology.
If only our PM was a technology expert……..
