Privacy in Communication Networks
In my life landline phone came in as a means of communication somewhere in 1994 (before that I simply did not exist), and now I (and many others) can not imagine my life without communication by mobile telephone and the Internet. Always be in touch very convenient, you can always contact the person to hear his opinion on some issue, agree on actions to share experiences. But not so beautiful as it seems at first glance.

So there were circumstances that I witnessed a situation in which a man suffered from a breach of confidentiality of his personal communication through the means of communication. In particular, through SMS and Internet (email, IM). If the Internet is clear, there are hackers "nemeryannom" need to worry about their own protection, in violation of the confidentiality of personal communications by SMS, I encountered the first time. My topic for the Protection of subscriber's telecommunications operators in the privacy of communication.



In the situation that I encountered, the object of attention of hackers is far from IT, IS and is not even an "advanced" computer users. But realizing that in such a situation could be anyone, I understand that your communication over the Internet, I still somehow can protect (VPN, SSL, PGP, etc), then what about mobile phones? A subscriber, how advanced he was, very limited protection, and use many of them (audioshifratory, for example) is prohibited by law and, according to experts, to monitor the relevant services.

I can only speculate about how broken the confidentiality of conversations - the monitoring of ether or unauthorized use of systems SORM. In this situation, we know that the interest of ill-wisher is not related to legal issues or business activity (the manifestation of talking about this uniquely). The situation, of which I speak, was most likely due to different circumstances, but because if someone can so easily intercept your private conversations, then make it an instrument of fraud or blackmail - simple. And the right would still violate the privacy of conversations law enforcement agencies (the work they have such), but you do it by private persons.

The question which remains open for me - how to protect your right to privacy of communication over a network connection? How to find the attacker, in case of violation of these rights? What are the legal aspects of this issue? What is the responsibility of the operator of communication, for breach of confidentiality? How can I prove to the operator or the relevant authority that such a fact is true? I have big doubts that, for example, obtained from malevolent SMS will be the real (?) Evidence of breaches of confidentiality.

And the most interesting. If you currently deal with this situation is so, then what can we expect after years of commercials 5?

OBNV: If rough, then violations of privacy were of this nature - there are people of the same circle of friends: Alice, Bob, Charlie. Alice sends an SMS to Bob, then Charlie gets this SMS with comments from an unknown Dave (prepaid). Such an action is not in the interest of one of the first three persons, which excludes their participation.
