Video visitations are available to inmates at all of the department's facilities, according to Idaho Department of Correction Director Josh Tewalt. Inmates receive one free video call a month; after that, the cost is $4.99 for a 15-minute call. The department worked with CenturyLink and the corrections communications provider JPay to provide the service. https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/idoc-rolls-out-video-calls-after-suspending-in-person-visits-due-to-covid-19/article_e8db5bc1-3a24-5b1e-93c2-40c041620554.html -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <64325B80-C007-43CD-912D-55FA84F2C722@roscom.com> Date: 3 Apr 2020 13:31:33 -0400 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Zoom's Encryption Is "Not Suited For Secrets" Zoom's Flawed Encryption Linked to China https://theintercept.com/2020/04/03/zooms-encryption-is-not-suited-for-secrets-and-has-surprising-links-to-china-researchers-discover/ Move Fast & Roll Your Own Crypto: A Quick Look at the Confidentiality of Zoom Meetings https://citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto-a-quick-look-at-the-confidentiality-of-zoom-meetings/ ***** Moderator's Note ***** It doesn't matter if the "flawed encryption" is linked to China. What matters is that it might be flawed. So long as cryptographic research is conducted in secret, and subject to U.S. government monitoring and restrictions, the NSA will always be able to slip in a weakness or back-door that only they know about. Don't be afraid of China: it's the guy across the street that steals your secrets, and any communications channel used for carrying confidential corporate information should be safeguarded at the highest level possible.
