�� �� �� � Covert Commu
nication:�� � Think laser communicatio
ns, or infrared signalling, maybe even�� � quantum comm
unications. Then there are secret modulations of radio��
� waves, global voice and data satellite systems, dead drops, brush
- � �� � passes, secret inks, and microdots. All of the
se comprise a part of � �� � the kit available for covert
and clandestine communications. Some is � �� � more secure
than others. There is one type of system more secure� �
� � than all the rest, One-Time Pads, which is mathematically provable
� �� � to be completely secure as long as the protocol
is followed exactly. � �� � There are comunications agenci
es throughout the world that focus on � �� � cracking cov
ert communications in all of their forms. In the USA� ��
� this task falls on the NSA, in the UK its GCHQ, in Canada its CSE
, � �� � in every first world (developed nation) there i
s some agency of some � �� � sort tasked with the security
of their own communications and the� �� � exploitation
of other countries flaws in their messaging systems.� �
� � It is said that the collection capabilities of the National Security
� �� � Agency is so great that their computers can not ke
ep up and there is � �� � plenty of information that simpl
y can not be filtered due to such� �� � massive collect
ion programs. What do you want to learn about secure � ��
� communications? If you wanted to make a private security firm the
� �� � study of communications security would be a good
place to start.� �� � It is said that Bin Laden gave u
p his satellite phone in place of a � �� � system of mess
engers who would act as couriers of news and updates; � ��
� his house had no phone or internet connection. Yet his covert
� �� � communications were no match to a superior collectio
n process. A� �� � quip states: "if intellect fails, br
ute force prevails." Some topics � �� � to discuss include
methods of collection, ways to secure covert� �� � com
munications, whats coming down the line in technology, etc.� �
