  message aired on state TV.
• We will fight a battle for security until the
  end. We will preserve the revolution.

What Is The Magna Carta

• It is crumbling, water-stained and written in
  Medieval Latin, but the Magna Carta has managed
  to remain relevant to the cause of human rights
  even today, 800 years after it was scrawled on
  parchment and affirmed with the sticky wax seal
  of the English king. Englands Great Charter of
  1215 was the first document to challenge the
  authority of the king, subjecting him to the rule
  of the law and protecting his people from feudal
  abuse.
• Although most of the charters ideas were revised
  or have since been repealed, the Magna Cartas
  fundamental tenets provided the outline for
  modern democracies. One of its clauses, still in
  the English law books, has been credited as the
  first definition of habeas corpus the universal
  right to due process.
• Taking a cue from the document more than five
  centuries later, American revolutionaries
  incorporated many of the Magna Cartas basic
  ideas into another important piece of parchment
  the U.S. Constitution.

Sim Card Flaw Results In Phone Hijacking

• A vulnerability on SIM cards used in some mobile
  phones could allow malware infection and
  surveillance, a security researcher warns.
• Karsten Nohl, founder of Security Research Labs
  in Berlin, told The New York Times that he has
  identified a flaw in SIM encryption technology
  that could allow an attacker to obtain a SIM
  cards digital key, the 56-digit sequence that
  allows modification of the card. The flaw, which
  may affect as many as 750 million mobile phones,
  could allow eavesdropping on phone conversations,
  fraudulent purchases, or impersonation of the
  handsets owner, Nohl warned.
• We can remotely install software on a handset
  that operates completely independently from your
  phone, warned Nohl, who said he managed the
  entire operation in less than two minutes using a
  standard PC. We can spy on you. We know your
  encryption keys for calls. We can read your SMSs.
  More than just spying, we can steal data from the
  SIM card, your mobile identity, and charge to
  your account.
• The vulnerability was found in the Digital
  Encryption Standard, a cryptographic method
  developed by IBM in the 1970s that is used on
  about 3 billion cell phones every day. While the
  encryption method has been beefed up in the past
  decade, many handsets still use the older
  standard.
