What is espionage?
The term "mole" is also commonly used to describe anyone working in one
organization, seeking access to confidential information that they will pass to the
organization for whom they really work. For example, a news reporter seeking
information on a certain company may take a job with the company to observe the
practices first-hand.
Spy Ring
A bug does not have to be a device specifically designed for the purpose of
eavesdropping. For instance, with the right equipment, it is possible to remotely
activate the microphone of mobile phones, even when a call is not being made,
to listen to conversations close to the phone.
Cryptography
In cryptography, the one-time pad is a type of encryption which has been proven
to be impossible to crack if used correctly. Each bit or character from the
plaintext is with a character from a secret random key (or pad) of the same
length as the plaintext, resulting in a coded message. If the key is truly random,
as large as or greater than the plaintext, never reused in whole or part, and kept
secret, the coded message will be impossible to decrypt or break without
knowing the key.
