Make ready for the Chinese and Russian takeover of UK businesses and
economy, it's open season. Let's make it easy for them, install the
voice encryption system recommended by CESG.
CESG's recommended encryption protocol has a big back door in it,
according to Dr. Steven Murdoch, so that those who use it can feel safe
in the knowledge that the GCHQ will protect their best interests by not
divulging it, or admit that it even exists, to anyone else, and will
only use it surreptitiously themselves for catching criminals and spies
of an alien kind...or any other hanky panky.
Shh...Don't tell anyone...it is a big secret.
Reassuring for all those UK businesses out there, who have sensitive
financial information which they voice between offices around the world,
as part of their daily strategy, and have decided to take up GCHQ's
recoomendantion, and therefore very good for the UK's participation in
the global economydon't you think....:-) . After all, it is all aboout
transparency.
The CESG, a GCHQ underling, developed the spec and has been pushing it
since last year. As I said, folks will sell their grandmothers, their
inheritences, their cultures, the family silver, for a few pounds, these
days, can't see any further than the drop of snot on the end of their
noses...drip...drip...drip.:-) . I wonder if CESG makes a profit?
