Re: question
said by Minister  :
Who says cellphones are secure?
To say it short, only cell phones that are safe are the ones that use ONLY (refuse ALL other!) COMP-128-2 or COMP-128-3 and A5/3. If they use any other stuff in any way, they are insecure and can be eavesdropped pretty easily. Unfortunally most cell phone providers use COMP-128-1 and A5/1 and allow even more insecure algos to be used.
For example, in Finland, only Elisa »www.elisa.fi uses that secure combination, all other providers have insecure cell phone networks.
