The Tech That Safeguards the Conclave’s Secrecy

In 2005, Cell Phones were banned for the first time during the Conclave, the process by which the Catholic Church selected its new pope. Twenty years later, after the death of Pope Francis, the election process is underway again. Authorities have two priorities: to protect the integrity of the persons participating in the meeting and to ensure that strict privacy (under the punishment of expulsion and imprisonment) until the final decision is made.

By 2025, Gendermari Corps, the defensive of the Vatican City, face an unprecedented technical challenge compared to other conferences.

The Conclave is expected to be held about 20 days after Pope’s death. Vatican and Holly C are preparing for the arrival of the Cardinal who will vote for the next leader of Catholic faith. Emergency and control companies are also working on it with sophisticated technology. So far, they have not shared their protection system in detail, but they are not inexperienced in the integrity of high-profile statistics in the face of today’s technical risk.

In fact, George Mario Bergogolio – the real name of Pope Francis – such as Supreme Pontif indicates some of the rigorous security strategies that will be presented in the next Conclave.

Checking the signal jammer and the device

Vatican has Internet access, but there will be a signal jammer in the region where the cardinals live and vote in favor of the new pope. Technology prevents two devices from contacting each other through radio frequency intervention. The headquarters turned into an electronic bunker. So, if someone is managed to introduce a microphone, telephone or computer, they will be unable to send information.

However, administrative workers or cardinales are the chances of introducing technology themselves. Authorities visit the building for a few days in search of unauthorized microphones or cameras, examine each approved participant and examine the double-check participants.

Privacy movie on Windows

Contemporary satellites are capable of taking pictures of human mouths from the place, while the AI ​​can explain the lip of the lips. However, since there is currently no technology to look through the walls with this national high resolution, the best technique against the spy on Conclave is to close the door and window.

Voters are not allowed during the meeting and in the sleeping quarters. Also, before the cardinales arrive, Vatican staff put opaque films on Windows so that no journalist, satellite or drone can take pictures.

Locked-Down Vatican

The Vatican is only 0.44 square kilometers in the region. It is the smallest nation in the world. Until 2018, it had 650 cameras observing its roads from an underground command center. Also, the Vatican City Gendermari, which acts as a conventional police force and serves as an army, is located in the region. In photographs they seem to be dressed in ancient clothing and carry Halberds, the next group contains highly trained staff including heavy weapons such as machine guns, rifles and explosives.

An estimated 200,000 people are expected to be present in the small city-state after determining the name of the successor to Conclave Pope Francis.
