GSM to feel the heat from open source project
,----[ Quote ]
| The announcement of a new project to attack the A5/1 GSM encryption standard
| could spell trouble in the mid-term for mobile phone network security. As
| well as normal telephone conversations, this would also allow text messages
| to be read, not just by state agencies with specialist equipment (for whom it
| is already a matter of course), but by anyone with the right equipment,
| costing just 1,000 euros. This would undermine the whole basis of the mobile
| banking security structure, which uses GSM to transfer mobile TANs for
| validating online transfers.

Secure VoIP, GNU SIP Witch, and replacing Skype with free software

| For a number of years I have been working when possible on what is called the
| GNU Telephony Secure Calling initiative. The GNU Telephony Secure Calling
| initiative was itself originally formed specifically to make passive voice
| communication intercept a thing of the past using free software and public
| standards, and came out of ideas from and work of the New York City civil
| liberties community and New York Fair Use in the early part of this decade.

OpenBSC powered GSM network live at HAR2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Under license of the Dutch regulatory authority, we operate two BTS with two
| TRX each, forming the network 204-42. The BTS are positioned on the top of a
| hill, with the antennas mounted back to back on a tree, each covering about
| half of the HAR2009 camp site. Every transceiver runs at 100mW transmit
| power, which is the maximum output as per our license.
|
| From that tree, we run AC power and a single E1 line down to the GSM tent,
| where it runs into the Linux PC that runs our OpenBSC software.
