Hi,You dont need any electronics for this. The issue is not about users
Am sure no one in this list needs an introduction to the issue thats
important to the national security administration in India. Apparently,
they
want to lay their hands on the encryption keys used by operators so that
they can listen in on any conversation on their networks.
But, how feasible it is for a savvy end user with enough resources at his
disposal (read terrorists, maoists etc) to install a small chip (say, an
FPGA) that is capable of encrypting (using 1024 bit keys, which are
exchanged via a personal courier) the signals even before it reaches the
network? Then, even with the govt having the official encryption keys,
they
will still end up with a garbled msg they cannot decode in reasonable
time!!!
sending encrypted messages, it is about users sending cleartext messages.
