Re: [Linphone-users] Legal issues of SRTP encryption and Google Play Store

[Ghislain Mary]

Hi,

Nobody asked us to remove the encryption in Linphone. It was our own decision in order to respect the US and french laws.

We have been able to add it again without changing the key length after getting the authorization to use encryption from both the US and french governments. That's why encryption is now enabled again.

On the Linphone homepage you could read that the software could not be
offered with encryption because of lacking compliance with US laws
regarding encryption.

I have some questions about this.

The project leader of another encrypting VOIP software for Android told
me there is no such restriction for his software on Google Play Store.

Thus, I would like to know, who excatly asked you to remove encryption
in Linphone for the Google Play Store? Was ist some people from Google?
Or government people?

You now have enabled SRTP/TLS again in the Android version.

To be allowed to offer Linphone again on Play Store with encryption
enabled, did you have to shorten key length?

What keylength does Linphone use for TLS/SRTP in its Android version
offered on Play Store?

What changed did you need to make in the code to offer Linphone again on
Play Store with encryption enabled?

I am somewhat interested in getting answers to my questions.

Thank you
