·Many telecommunications transmissions will contain "key words", used to identify information of interest to a third party. A key word can be the name of a technology, product, project, or anything else which may identify the subject of the transmission.
The communications of criminals are certainly not billions bytes long but rather short and if they use 'key words' these can hardly be detected. This shows the nonsense of prohibiting use (or restricting export) of strong crypto by the general public and also the total ineffectivity of wiretapping etc. by the authority. A tiny history: During WWII there was a time when much commodities were smuggled between Hongkong and Macao. Letters were subject to opening by the Japanese occupation. Using 'key words' the smugglers of one city put little harmless looking announces in local newspapers which the complices at the other city could read the next day just as fast as if the information were sent via the post. This clearly shows that those attempting to push through crypto laws or regulations have either very low IQ or have high IQ but are in fact pursuing other (undisclosed) goals than what they publically claim (fighting criminality etc.).
