The indecipherable theorem has had its day. The hypersecure phone of Emmanuel Macron, and other Presidents of the Republic before him, long considered cumbersome and impractical, should soon be replaced.

The Theorem is the secret defense terminal reserved for high-ranking officials and French military officers. Launched in 2011, it is a non-touch flip phone whose only function is to communicate. It has no applications or contact directory, and only allows contact with people who have the same device.

Respectively American and Russian, the two messaging systems, although encrypted, regularly raise questions about the security of personal data.
In the summer of 2021, the greater use of the President of the Republic of his two iPhones during the Pegasus affair, cyber-espionage software developed by the Israeli company NSO, had also been noted. Emmanuel Macron had been one of the targets.
