    I've been thinking about skypes security... is it possible to trace the route that the traffic takes? how do we know theres not some intermediate stop for the traffic where its being recorded? Do we take skype's word for it?

    The key is the end to end encryption. Capturing data does nothing for an attacker really, unless they can crack 256-bit Rijndael.

    are you sure its end to end. we never create unique keys. there could be an intermediary server that you and I are talking to that decripts and then reencrypts the traffic. Unless you've seen something that points otherwise.

    Yes, I'm quite sure it's end-to-end. We do in fact create unique keys just for this purpose. Here, let me append the post with the encryption information.
