The past months have seen many reports on a new cell phone tapping tactic -- the "roving bug": * USA Today: Your cellphone is more powerful than you probably know usatoday.com * CNet News.com: FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool news.com.com * ABC News: Can You Hear Me Now? blogs.abcnews.com ftp://ftp.3gpp.org/Specs/2000-12/R1999/33_series/33106-310.zip These documents [zip files] explain how the cellular network are setup to allow Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) to tap a cellular telephone and the data or text it transmits Here are some interesting quotes from those documents: * To be effective, interception must take place without the knowledge of either party to the communication. Therefore, decryption must also take place without either party being aware that it is happening. * No indication shall be given to any person except authorised [sic] personnel that the intercept function has been activated on a target. * The invocation of lawful interception shall not alter the operation of a target's services or provide indication to any party involved in communication with the target. * ...it shall be a national option as to whether the network provides the CC (Content of Communication) to the agency decrypted, or encrypted with a key available to the agency. gsm-security.net blogs.forum.nokia.com ------------------------------------------------- Name: Trace.Registry.Spam Blocker Utility Registry traces are known references of Spyware/Adware which are stored in the Windows registry database.
