Re: [Clips] Is Skype a haven for criminals?

Thus spake Steve Schear (s.schear@comcast.net) [09/03/06 13:48]: : My understanding is that encryption between Skype users is through remote : key generation and key exchange and that any intermediaries (including : Skype) don't have the necessary key information to decrypt the data : streams. Can anyone support or refute this assertion? While I have no key insights into how Skype encryption is handled -- aside from the fact that most crypto-knowledgable communities view it skeptically -- I /do/ know they've stated they will fully comply with any wiretapping request, and declined to comment further on what exactly that meant. Personally, I'm holding out for zFone and ZRTP. - Damian
