that the NSA ensured that algorithms used to encrypt voice traffic between the handset and the tower are easily breakable, and that there is no end-to-end encryption between the two communicating parties. The result is that your cell phone conversations can easily be monitored. Both of these were probably part of NSA

AS POSSIBLE Governments should have the goal of encrypting as much of the Internet+ as possible. There are many facets to this. One: we need end-to-end encryption for communications. This means that all communications should be encrypted from the sender’s device to the receiver’s device, and that no one in

is called link-by-link encryption; everything going through a particular data link is encrypted.

layers for transmission. This approach avoids the encryption/decryption problem at the physical layer. By providing end-to-end encryption, the data remains encrypted until it reaches its final destination (see Figure 10.2). The primary problem with end-to-end encryption is that the routing information for the data is not encrypted; a good cryptanalyst can learn
