Was Toads-Internet Security - Leroy Eckert - 08-27-2007 16:01 What I find very interesting after completing 85 hours of CPE this week is this. There are numerous rules and regulations about confidential client relationships, independence, objectivity, and integrity, etc, and not one reference in any document or course regarding cell phone use and discussions conducted thereon. In this day and age, everyone has one. Just yesterday I had a conversation with my Attorney on the cell phone. Anyone with a scanner can listen to a cell phone conversation. Go figure. Nothing like being behind the power curve.

Of course it comes back to ground and goes out on the public internet where it is the same security as any wired connection, ranging from insecure to very secure, depending on protocol. Next generation satellite (bird launched August 14th) will allow companies to have office-to-office direct satellite without a ground component, and companies are reportedly lined up for that one purely for security reasons. Not likely to be much used that way for mobile users. That does not mean that security of WiFi is a big issue for people working with sensitive material, even though WiFi itself is the least secure carrier. Put SSL encryption on at the client computer and it remains essentially unbreakable no matter what the carrier is, all the way to the receiving https server. Corporate users are often required to use VPN tunnelling, which provides equal protection, even when using a WiFi in a coffee shop.

The old analog cellular technology is almost completely obsolete; Sprint, Verizon, etc all use digitally encoded spread-spectrum frequency hopping technology that is extremely difficult to intercept. They went to it not so much for security as for increasing efficiency many fold...that's why cell phones are so cheap now that every junior high kid has one. But I wouldn't begin to tell you what your level of comfort should be. There are also some extremely good data encryption packages out there that you might look in to...PGP (pretty good privacy) comes to mind. I've never had to concern myself with it since nothing I'm doing is particularly sensitive. Travis (the Newell guy...but I was looking hard at the 86 PT40 that Ryan got; great coach...love them cruisairs!)
