Skype security

Skype security

According to the Wikipedia article Skype security, the protocol (according to the company) uses standard cryptographic systems like RSA and AES. So why should having the source code reverse engineered be a security concern? The company's reaction completely undermines any claims they had to security.

I would be quite interested in reading an analyze of the secrets exposed. Specially about whether they found any backdoors in the system that proves Skype (the company) has the ability to eavesdrop on the communications that go thru the network.

All this is going to do is make it easier to start nonprofit calling services. I doubt any secrets or backdoors will be exposed.

Good for Mr. Bushmanov!
