Sgt_Josh Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi All, After a recent show of numbers, where they tracked IP phones to servers then locations. It begs in my mind when using IP phones what general type of security do they use? Can it be hacked? And more important what extra measures can you take to protect yourself from big brother? It got me thinking maybe you as well. Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Depends what you use, Skype uses end-to-end encryption so the traffic itself is fairly secure, but you can still see where traffic is coming from and going to (although Skype is a P2P system so perhaps the P2P traffic gives you some plausible deniability).

Sgt_Josh Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Can you enable higher encryption in Skype? and if Skype servers get hacked this would have no bearing because of the the end to end encryption right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
