Researchers find deliberate backdoor in police radio encryption algorithm | Vendors knew all about it, but most customers were clueless.::Vendors knew all about it, but most customers were clueless.
Sure ETSI are responsible for the encryption standard.
And Motorola is free to use that standard on radio handsets made with components of ITAR controlled items.
The use of any component controlled via ITAR will have the entire unit controlled.
Having used a Motorola product covered by ITAR on “the wrong continent” many times.
ETSI isn’t responsible for “the encryption standard” - they’re responsible for the TETRA standard. TETRA isn’t encryption - it’s a type of radio system, that has encryption as one small part of it. (I know plenty about TETRA - I’ve designed transmission networks for TETRA systems.) I’ve worked on DAMM and Leonardo systems, they’re completely European designed and built, there’s no ITAR regulations on them.
