Regarding Huawei and their 5G hardware in Europe (But globally as well)

535 views

How exactly if almost all network traffic these days run on TLSx.x, would huawei having a part in building infrastructure be “dangerous” for the average person (and the population at large)?

Wouldn’t SSL termination be needed at each person’s device to allow snooping? Or is there some deeper issue I’m missing?

There are different kinds of snooping. If I know who you call and when you call them, I’m snooping on you even though I don’t know what you’re saying.

More dangerously, if I can make it so that your phone stops working because I determine you spend too much time talking to the Ministry of Defense and I’m interested in causing mischief; that’s bad.
