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):

Maybe it's interesting, maybe not, but for sure some facts are very
relevant!
