Isn't this a lot like RedPhone (open sauce!) ?
The main problem with phone call encryption is that you're either dealing with the restraints of mobile data latencies (eww) or the already-low bandwidth of a GSM call (eww eww).

The best approach would be to implement proper, endpoints-only, key exchange and modern encryption algorithms, possibly with rekeying to prevent dictionary/hash table attacks as part of mobile standards.
But the spooks won't let us have that

It's not too late to change though - we could have this in VoLTE. Nobody uses it yet - maybe someone at ITU could propose this change?
