Federal wiretaps foiled by encryption methods

The U.S. Administrative Office of the Courts (AO) acknowledged that encryption methods, for the first time ever, foiled law enforcement wiretaps in 2012, Wired reported Friday. “Encryption was reported for 15 wiretaps in 2012 and for 7 wiretaps conducted during previous years. In four of these wiretaps, officials were unable to decipher the plain text of the messages,” said the Friday AO report. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/29/report-federal-wiretaps-foiled-by-encryption-methods/
