  • Abstract
    Techniques for eavesdropping on radio transmission are discussed, and the types of information transmitted in the various frequency ranges are examined. Three classes of targets are considered: diplomatic, private-corporation, and military. It is concluded that users of the RF spectrum must encrypt their data transmissions to prevent sensitive information from becoming a virtual `open book´ to potential eavesdroppers
