Ok, now we have the evidence: The research was a fake security research arranged for a marketing campaign.
They was able cheat most journalists, bloggers and security magazines.I don't remember in all my life a so irresponsible and dirty marketing trick in the security world, abusing of hackers reputations.
Read below, they leaked the IP of the anonymous author of http://infosecurityguard.com and it's confirmed that it come from SecurStar GmbH office:
Evidence that infosecurityguard.com/notrax is SecurStar GmbH – A fake independent research on voice crypto (by me)
Dishonest security: The SecurStart GmbH case (by me) Debunking Infosecurityguard identity from Matteo Flora .It's hilarious and unbelievable that a security company had done something like this.

Hi all,i don't know how many of you have read about the analysis done on http://infosecurityguard.com .I have made a detailed analysis of their initiative and the result is that:- it's most probably a camouflage marketing initiative and not a independent security research - they consider a security context where local device has been compromised (no software can be secured in that case)- they do not consider cryptographic security arguments Below my analysis on this (read it carefully): http://infosecurity.chMaybe it's interesting, maybe not, but for sure some facts are very relevant!Fabio Pietrosanti (naif)
