Fraud in Telecommunication

Messages have always been subjected to a variety of illegal practices, such as attempts to pry into them in order to take advantage of the contents, clone, or distort them, etc. The history of communication is marked by efforts to combat these different kinds of phenomena with security measures, coding, and encryption, to name but a few of the methods used. However, the latter can always be countered with techniques aimed at reversing them (intrusion, decoding, decryption, etc…), so that ultimately information may be appropriated by unauthorized persons.
