What an amazing demonstration!<p>I predict that Apple is going to spend alot of time quietly securing all of its messaging with Public Key Cryptography, so that it touches and encrypts everything that goes in and out of its products when they speak to other Apple products.<p>The anti NSA animus is growing exponentially and the legacy A5 cipher is an intolerable open door to anyone who makes calls today.<p>Thankfully, VOIP makes cellphone calls obsolete, and with FaceTime and Jitsi to name but two, secure calls are the default.<p>The age of mass surveillance is coming to an end. Strong encryption by default in calls is going to become the norm, just as SSL is all over the web.
