Two years ago when researchers found and publicly exposed an intentional backdoor in a TETRA encryption algorithm used to secure radio communications for police/military/intel agencies around the world -- the algorithm involved a key advertised as one strength but secretly reduced to 32 bits -- the European organization that produced the algorithm told users that to secure their communications they could deploy an end-to-end encryption solution on top of the backdoor'd algorithm. Now the same researchers say they found a security problem with the end-to-end solution as well -- another reduced key. Here's my story for Wired:

Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked

Researchers found that an encryption algorithm likely used by law enforcement and special forces can have weaknesses that could allow an attacker to listen in.

@kimzetter the radio in the picture is not even a TETRA radio :D it's XTS3000
