Hi,

I'm missing the particular information how have they "decoded" Skype,
please give us a link or something. AFAIK Skype is using RSA for key
negotiation, so it will be much bigger technological breakout if the
gov manages to decrypt the data in a reasonable time. We all know
about the supercomputers, ingenious scientists, UFO technologies and
so, but for me the authorities are still just blindly raising fears in
the normal internet users.

Attack such as the second can be done on every single computer program
and I don't think we must assume it's against Skype. If somebody
steals your GMail password with a trojan, I don't think it's a
weakness in the security of Google's product.

Cheers,

Georgi
