Points of view
- “Current commercial interceptors decrypt within seconds, often faster than the time a user takes to answer the call.” – Karsten Nohl, Security Research Labs
- “In the medium to long term GSM simply needs to be turned off; it’d be more work to fix it than it would be to upgrade.” – Chris Paget, ethical GSM hacker
- “It would be a good time to start transitioning GSM systems to more advanced cryptographic algorithms. We should be grateful. We don't always get advance warning that it's time to upgrade a security system before the bad guys start taking advantage of it.” – David Wagner, University of California, Berkeley
- “The complexities [in G3 decryption] are so small that we have actually simulated a successful attack in less than two hours on a single PC.” – Orr Dunklemann, Weizmann Institute of Science
- Tomorrow’s world would then become … a “thinking planet”, a gigantic web of interconnected individuals and devices in which our growing dependence upon connected technology will give cyber criminals a much greater potential for high-impact attacks.” – Ronald K. Noble, Secretary General, INTERPOL
