<p>C'est inhérent à la conception du réseau téléphonique : aussi
longtemps que
le téléphone est en communication avec lui, il n'y a aucun moyen d'empêcher
le réseau d'enregistrer sa position. De nombreux pays (y compris les
Ãtats-Unis et l'Union européenne) exigent que le réseau conserve toutes ces
données de localisation pendant des mois ou des années.</p>

l'équivalent moral de la création d'une porte dérobée.</p>

<p>La porte dérobée est dans le « processeur du modem », dont le
rôle est de
communiquer avec le réseau hertzien. Dans la plupart des téléphones, le
processeur du modem a le contrôle du micro et en général il a aussi la
capacité de réécrire le logiciel du processeur principal.</p>
+
<p>Quelques modèles de téléphone sont spécialement conçus pour que le
processeur du modem ne contrôle pas le micro et par conséquent ne puisse pas
changer le logiciel du processeur principal. Ils ont tout de même une porte
dérobée, mais au moins elle est incapable de transformer le téléphone en
appareil d'écoute.</p>

The choice to leave the security holes in place is morally
equivalent to writing a back door.</p>

<p>The back door is in the “modem processor”, whose
job is to communicate with the radio network. In most phones,
the modem processor controls the microphone. In most phones it
has the power to rewrite the software for the main processor
too.</p>

<p>A few phone models are specially designed so that the modem
processor does not control the microphone, and so that it can't
change the software in the main processor. They still have the
back door, but at least it is unable to turn the phone unto a
