Open-Source Effort to Hack GSM
,----[ Quote ]
| The aim of the project, he says, is not to
| "break anything" but rather to create an
| awareness of "a long-standing
| vulnerability" in GSM encryption technology
| and, ultimately, to push mobile phone
| operators still delivering calls over GSM
| networks either to phase in the more
| advanced voice and text-messaging
| encryption technology, A5/3, or upgrade to
| a newer-generation digital phone system.
