> an attacker passively eavesdropping a GSM communication between a target and a base station can decrypt any 2-hour call with probability 0.43, in 14 min
The authors give the above example in the abstract. It does not look like the typical use case for embedded systems. I would think embedded systems send and receive small amounts of non-critical data over GSM, hopefully encrypted, as the parent pointed out. But I may be wrong here - is there a real use case for attacking embedded systems using this method?
