The world’s biggest aerospace company is jumping into the business of making high-security smartphones. Boeing Co.

The phone is based on a modified version of Google Inc. GOOG +0.01% ‘s Android operating system. It takes Boeing beyond the jumbo jets, fighter planes and satellites for which it is known.
