Gold Lock Enterprise VS Skype
Skype uses SSL which uses electronic certificates and 128 bit encryption (standard for credit card transactions online also) This level of encryption is NOT appropriate for even top secret level communications. How many times have credit card numbers been stolen online?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security
128-bit 2^128 2 multiplied by 2 128 times over. = 339,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (give or take a couple trillion…).
Gold Lock Enterprise uses 4 different encryption methods. One of which is 16,384 Bit Authentication. That is 2 multiplied by 2, 16,384 times over (not just 128 times). This method IS appropriate for top secret level communications. Enterprise uses 16,384 Bit Authentication Elliptic Curve 384 Bits (RSA 7680 Bits Equivalent) AES 256 Bits Diffie Hellman 4096 Bits
AES – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard Top Secret appropriate
RSA – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA Top Secret appropriate
Diffie Hellman – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman_key_exchange Top Secret appropriate
In addition to this technical “stuff” the facts remain that Skype provides a key to governments for lawful interception (which means all the security in the world in now a mute point) and Skypes 128 bit encryption has been broken, and hackers now easily intercept their calls.

As you can see Enterprise has significantly higher encryption capabilities than Skype. Skype encrypts just enough to satisfy their customers. Gold Lock takes pride in having the best and highest encryption software on the market. Gold Lock Enterprise is a military grade encryption software. No military uses Skype to relay orders or pass top secret information.

How To Secure The BarackBerry

Phone identification and targeting
The first thing that needs to be done is to ensure anonymity. Today, there are two IDs in GSM/UMTS systems that can be exploited if somebody knows them and can get access to the core of the mobile network to find out the current location of the phone up to the level of the radio tower. These IDs are the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) on the SIM card and the International Mobile Equipment ID (IMEI) of the mobile phone itself. Also, knowledge of one of the two values can also be used by someone who has access to the core of the mobile mobile network to intercept non end-to-end encrypted voice calls and Internet traffic.
To ensure anonymity these IDs should be changed in regular intervals. If I were the secret service I would get a large number of IMSI’s of several network operators, get the SIM card vendor on board and devise a scheme to change the IMSI on the SIM card on a regular basis. Concerning the IMEI a changing random number would do.

Report: China spies threaten U.S. technology
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese spying in America represents the greatest threat to U.S. technology, according to a congressional advisory panel report Thursday that recommended lawmakers consider financing counterintelligence efforts meant to stop China from stealing U.S. manufacturing expertise.
…
In the report, the commission said China’s spies allow Chinese companies to get new technology “without the necessity of investing time or money to perform research.” Chinese espionage was said to be straining U.S. counterintelligence agencies and helping China’s military modernization.

The politics of wiretapping and encryption
June 07, 2007 — This article is excerpted from Privacy on the Line: The Politics of Wiretapping and Encryption, Updated and Expanded Edition, by Whitfield Diffie, vice president and chief security officer, and Susan Landau, distinguished engineer, both of Sun Microsystems. Diffie is also co-inventor of Diffie-Hellman public key cryptography. This excerpt is used with permission of The MIT Press
…
The potential impact on privacy is profound. Telecommunications are intrinsically interceptable, and this interceptability has by and large been enhanced by digital technology. Communications designed to be sorted and switched by digital computers can be sorted and recorded by digital computers. Common-channel signaling, broadcast networks and communication satellites facilitate interception on a grand scale previously unknown. Laws will not change these facts.
…
When it is not be possible to prevent communications from being intercepted, it may still be possible to protect them. The primary technology for protecting telecommunications is cryptography, which, despite its ancient origins, is largely a product of the 20th century.

State Police review lists weaknesses in hunt for Phillips
…
Communications devices, an official said, presented “a number of significant challenges.” Some of the devices — which, in addition to police radios, had to include cell phones because of terrain problems — were less than secure, allowing “Phillips sympathizers” to monitor police communications and gather information about the manhunt’s procedures and the positioning of troopers, the report says.

Videoconference Roundtable on Competitive Intelligence, Corporate Espionage and Technology
ITechLaw Sponsors Videoconference Roundtable on Competitive Intelligence, Corporate Espionage and Technology
WAKEFIELD, Mass.–The International Technology Law Association (ITechLaw) (www.itechlaw.org) today announced that it is sponsoring a videoconference roundtable on May 16, 2007. The videoconference, hosted by 15 legal firms in the U.S., Canada and Brazil, will examine issues such as: the legality and ethics of information gathering, strategies for guarding against the theft or misappropriation of trade secrets, dealing with internal leaks, and how to achieve compliance with the Economic Espionage Act of 1996.

High-tech devices can make anyone a spy
By Erik Schechter
May 04, 2007
Tucked away on a side street in Tel Aviv, the unassuming Golan Spy Shop is not something a pedestrian would just chance upon — and owner Moti Golan likes it that way. “We don’t have the patience to deal with curiosity-seekers,” the former Central District police officer said. “We like people who know exactly what they want.”
As a result, 85 percent of his customers are what Golan calls the “professional market” — soldiers, police officers, private investigators and civilian security officers. The rest are businessmen, who, for whatever reason, feel the need to own a microphone disguised as a shirt button or a radio frequency transmitter (i.e., a bug) hidden inside a clock.
