אנטי - השאלה היא, האם אתרים מפרסמים את אמצעי ההגנה בהם הם נוקטים.
האם יש למשתמש דרך לדעת אם אתר נתון משתמש ב-DES או RSA החלשות, או ב-PGP או TRIPLE DES החזקות יותר? מה עוד שרוב המשתמשים מן הסתם לא מבינים בנושא ולא ידעו האם רמת האבטחה מספקת או לא, גם אם יקבלו את המפרט.
וחוץ מזה, יש גם האקרים שמתאגדים ומאחדים כוח חישוב, ואין להסתפק בתשובה שצריך מעבדת מחשבים כדי לפרוץ הצפנה מסויימת, כי כוח החישוב קיים.

Antrax:
You seem to say there is such a big diffrence bewteen what type of encryption they have.
But it's not so easy to tap the communication line anyway.
I mean someone would need to get access to one of the huge Internet companys routing the trafic.
It would be much easyer for someone to gain access to some crappy company that holds credit card numbers of it's customers then to gain access to a major internet company routering the traffic.
The concern on encryption could be important for example if your using the internet at a library,internet cafe,some lan,etc.
But the thing most people seem to ignore is that if your emailed your password and your email communication is not enccryped they can just steal your password for mtgo,bank,paypal,etc.
For example if you ever access your hotmail,yahoo,etc at a library,internet cafe,etc someone could get your email password and then look at the emails of when you got your password for other services in case you didn't delete them that is.
Another thing people should be concerned about is about running programs that some random person send them...

What do you mean in easy.
Are you talking about someone breaking an entry and puting some device to tap a communication line.
Or are you talking about someone with there computer over the internet gaining unauthorized access to some server and puting there a network sniffer?
Since the first one is dangerous and requires expensive equiment while the second requires a lot of skills and luck.
Oh and i was refering to major internet communications.
Taping someones phone line is easy.
Thought i wonder if you did tap someones phone line if you could actually get a device that can read the data since common devices aren't built to be able to tap lines.
You could even tap someones phone line by just calling them and then be able to listen if they try to make a phone call.
Thought taping cable internet in your area is easy but the data there is encrypted.
