This is a Technicum podcast.

What makes your mobile telephone work?

And what makes it so secure?

Well, it's nothing you can see.

Yes, because it's inside your phone, but beyond that, the hardware is actually microscopic.

Millions of transistors packed into such a tiny space is almost beyond comprehension.

But as we speak, it's important for one group of individuals in Europe to understand how these circuits work,

even though they had nothing to do with the design.

I'm Peter Ballant from Technicon. This team of individuals is comprised of federal government,

local law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, as well as cybersecurity experts from across Europe.

They are the consortium in the X-Files project. Their goal, find methods

to get into locked phones which have been seized from criminals. As you have probably guessed,

these phones could contain data that could prevent other crimes. Today we speak with Olivier Toma,

a partner in X-Files.

He, along with his team of 10 cybersecurity experts, are responsible for hardware solutions in X-Files.

He shares his thoughts on the project with us today.

Let's have a listen.

So thank you for coming on today. I appreciate it.

Thank you. You're welcome.

In the introduction, I talked a little bit about X-Files.

And I also mentioned that you come from the company that's called TextPlain.

How do you, can you tell us your role within the X-Files project?
