----- Original Message ----- Subject: [Tom Berson Skype Security Evaluation] Tom Berson's conclusion is incorrect. One needs only to take a look at the publicly available information. I couldn't find an immediate reference directly from the Skype website, but it uses 1024-bit RSA keys, the coverage of breaking of 1024-bit RSA has been substantial. The end, the security is flawed. Of course I told them this now years ago, when I told them that 1024-bit RSA should be retired in favor of larger keys, and several other people as well told them. Joe
