This is one advantage CDMA has over GSM, it's much harder to intercept CDMA http://www.denbeste.nu/cdmafaq/eavesdrp.shtml http://www.denbeste.nu/cdmafaq/eavesdr

- daeken 16y agoI know nothing of CDMA and outside of some basic knowledge (I worked on the iPhone dev team during the original push for an unlock, and picked up some info on how GSM and cell phones in general work) I know very little here, but from a general security standpoint, the "only X and Y know the key for Z, thus Z is more secure than W" approach doesn't hold up. If there's a flaw in the implementation of crypto, it may be possible to reconstruct the key, or circumvent it entirely. That it hasn't been done yet means little in terms of theoretical security.
- 246tNt 16y agoThat article is just commercial BS ... the same way GSM pretended "Frequency Hopping" is a security feature because you can't listen to everything and don't know where to listen and you can't listen to everything without very $$$ equipement. If CDMA is more secure (and I'm not saying it is), then it's not due to their modulation scheme ... it would be due to the better security scheme. (and again, I don't know their security scheme, so it may just be as bad as GSM)
