The current encryption algorithm for voice calls made over GSM networks has been cracked by a team of 24 hackers led by encryption specialist Karsten Nohl during the Chaos Communication Congress being held this week in Berlin.
The A5/1 algorithm is a 21 year old 64-bit algorithm used in the encryption of voice calls originating over GSM networks, with Nohl turning the raw binary output into a 2 terabyte “code book” that would allow for the decoding of a valid encryption key.
