That's true......Verisign is a good idea....
When you said I contradicted myself.....were you talking about the fact that I would consider using 3G even though it was cracked....
If so...yeah I agree :-) ....But I didn't link to the article. It was cracked by a researcher to show out-dated the encryption systems for 3G networks are. It showed how easy it would be for somebody who really wanted to access ANYTHING over 3G communications to do so provided they had the right know how.
Just because something is possible, does not make it just as probable. It is not a common place thing......
AFAIK. I'll take my chances
But hey....like I said.....it depends on your acceptable level of risk. Yes, 3G encryption has been cracked. Yes, Banks get robbed......but that doesn't stop you from using one.
Just be wise and know your risks. Beyond that....the circumstances are out of your control really....if someone is determined enough. No point in living in fear......but be wise.
