VOIP over Wi-Fi subject to eavesdropping?

Aug 04, 2005 1 Replies

I use VOIP (Voicepulse) over my laptop while on the road, connected via Wi-Fi hotspots.



My question: Are my phone conversations secure over these connections? I am talking for "all practical purposes", absent CIA or KGB with advanced technology.



Thanks



Steve,

the signal is absolute;y there and detectable for rf seeking missiles. decoding the digital signal would be cake for 3 letter agencies, typical radio listening would not decode easy... anybody with enough skill to create a virii, with a modem and directional antenna... may be able to break link with extended use and extended search time. i.e. guess the seed code game.. marc
