Most of the state digital system is in the clear, but KBI and perhaps a few other state agencies can and do encrypt on occasion, and that's how it should be.īasically to accomplish this you'd need to save the encrypted audio file on your computer and run it through appropriate algorithms in an attempt to decrypt it, changing the test key each time until you get a clear audio output (this will probably take quite a while, think months, not hours). I think a lot of today's law enforcement sees the benefit of involving citizens as "eyes and ears", but there will always be certain types of communications that will need to be kept private. Simple appeals by concerned citizens can also have an effect, especially in instances where the chief law enforcement official, e.g., the sheriff, and the city/county council are elected, not appointed. The media have ways of making it very unpleasant, publicity-wise for local police departments that lock them out of their communications entirely. The best way to prevent departments from adopting encryption is via the media (press, radio, TV). ![]() ![]() The Israelis have broken the original DES encryption, but, again, you and I just don't have the hardware or know-how. The government probably has the necessary super computers and decryption programs to do it, but the cost for the layman would be astronomical. The bottom line is that there is no way to decrypt digitally encrypted communications.
